Celebrating jazz guitarists

Dave Burrows.

Among other stringed instruments, guitars have played a vital role in the development of a diverse range of musical genres; they are portable, flexible, and musically adaptable.

The Noosa Heads Jazz Club is featuring two highly acclaimed jazz guitarists at its monthly concert at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre on 28 March to showcase popular jazz classics woven together with panache by the mastery of guitarists Russel Bayne and Dave Burrows, who are accompanied by a distinguished ensemble of clarinetist, Paul Williams with John Conley on string bass and Pat Robbins on drums.

Russell has been playing guitar since he was 12 years old and has made a name for himself as one of Australia’s premier jazz guitarists.

Dave Burrows has entertained Noosa and the Sunshine Coast audiences at festivals and concerts and is an accomplished luthier (a builder of stringed musical instruments). He has been building guitars for over 30 years and has sold his instruments to guitarists around Australia.

Music starts at 1 pm, and bookings can be made at noosajazzclub.com
