Noosa Jazz Club’s popular Thursday afternoon concerts at The Majestic Theatre Pomona return on 26 September with an exciting program of ‘Latin Jazz’ that blends the sounds of Italy with those of Latin America.
Eddie Gazani, a fine guitarist, singer, composer, and master of the Brazilian/Italian cross-genre musical genre, was born in Rio de Janeiro and spent much of his youth in Italy.
Italian-born Roberto Fontana makes his trumpet speak with his mellifluous, well-crafted sound and exciting solos.
Nico Iaia, originally from Brindisi, Southern Italy, plays unpretentious, motivating percussion and lends his rich vocals to several of the songs in the repertoire.
At the same time, Kay Sullivan demonstrates her sophisticated empathy with Brazilian and popular European music on her Italian Scandalli accordion.
Vocalist Grace Rigby has a natural talent for singing Latin songs, while musical director Peter Freeman underpins each performance with his dynamic bass.
The music starts at 1.00 pm and the doors open at 12 noon. For more information, phone 0478 256 245 or email info@noosajazzclub.com. To book your ticket, go to www.noosajazzclub.com.
