SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS AT NEWPORT JAZZ FESTIVAL Featuring Ashley Gaudion and Ian Dixon | |
|
Saturday 3rd May 2025 Time: 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm |
For this year’s festival Bob has chosen to play a program of jazz classics. Each player will contribute to the program to ensure
highlights and contrasts. Ian Dixon is an international performer, a fluent and masterful trumpeter and links up with Bob through
the bands BLOW and Black Jesus Experience. Ashley Gaudion is Melbourne Jazz royalty, a most in demand band leader, saxophonist and
very handy vocalist. A man who never fails to impress. Gareth Hill on bass along with Bob is part of the Iconic Ted Vining Trio. Gareth
is a powerful bassist who loves to groove. Mark Voogd was probably the most in demand drummer at last year’s festival due to the fact
that he can handle the swing and groove of jazz and still adapt to creating feels that put the finishing touches to a good rhythm
section. This is an all-star experienced band and should not be missed |
