After another difficult year, the Noosa Jazz Party has shrugged off its problems and will present almost a week of fabulous jazz at different venues, starting on Wednesday.

According to organiser Richard Stevens, improvisation brings out the best in a jazz player, and that certainly looks to be the case with the stellar program announced this week.

The fun starts with two nights of dinner jazz with The Jazz Factory at Fratellini Restaurant in Sunshine Beach. On Wednesday 1 September The Jazz Factory will entertain diners from 6pm, and on Thursday 2 September, they’ll be joined by the renowned jazz trumpeter Peter Uppman. Tickets for those are available from 54748080.

On Saturday 4 September, Jazz with Rhythm Melodique at Frenchie’s in Thomas Street, Noosaville from noon, presented by The Islander Resort, bookings 07 5415 1829. And the Jazz Party will climax on Sunday afternoon at the River Stage in Noosaville (near Noosa Yacht Club) with an afternoon of carefully curated jazz performances from 1.30pm to 4.15pm. This will includes the traditional “Jam Session” ending.

Necessary Covid restrictions will apply.
