SWING
TRAIN – THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK Featuring Gianni Marinucci and Emma Gilmartin | |
|
Friday 7th February 2025 Time: 9:30 pm |
Gianni
Mariucci’s Swing train features some of Australia’s best musicians celebrating great jazz standards from the likes of Gershwin and
Cole Porter. Tonight, Gianni will feature his long-time collaborator, Emma Gilmartin on vocals. Emma Gilmartin has gained a reputation
as one of Australia’s most talented jazz vocalists. Her voice is undeniably beautiful with “a crystalline purity of vibrato-less tone
and flawless pitch” (Leon Gettler, The Age Green Guide). Her treatment of jazz standards is undeniably unique, both enchanting and
defiant, and has the ability to both restore and recast the work in a new light. Joining Gianni and Emma will be Bob Sedergreen
on keyboard, bassist Tom Lee and Michael Jordon on drums. Come and enjoy these musical friends exploring beautiful jazz standards! 'There
is a lightness of being in the voice ... a voice [that] must be listened to as well as heard.' Michael Foster, Canberra Times "Marinucci
is a highly gifted and marvellously restrained player possessing a luscious, seductive sound that's filled with both muscular strength
and emotional fragility. His melodic and improvisational approach is economical with a superb (and swinging, even at slower tempos)
sense of note-placement. This is a player whose horn indeed tells tales.” Nick Mondello,' All About Jazz” Emma Gilmartin: Vocals Gianni

BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS With Special Guest Chantal Mitvalsky | |
|
Saturday 22nd March
2025 Time: 8:00 pm |
To say that Chantal Mitvalsky, is a stunning vocalist is an extreme understatement. Melbourne drummer, Sonja
as her music teacher at school was first to recognize this. Bob Sedergreen realized this the instant she joined JAVC sessions as did
all jazz musicians who subsequently worked with her in bands like Cannonball. Chantal relocated to New York City in 2017and quickly became a
regular performer in the New York music scene. Since returning home Chantal has received rave reviews from the audience from the sell-out
crowds at The Lido jazz Room . Much to Bob’s surprise USA jazz great pianist Mickey Tucker chose Sonja Horbelt and Annette Yates as
his working rhythm section in Australia. Having watched how outstanding this threesome was Bob continually booked Sonja & Annette
as often as he can. Annette is the viby and propulsive one. In demand, Sonja is really solid in any musical situation. Don’t miss
this night of extreme girl power! |
