It’s all that classic jazz

THE Noosa Jazz Party is back with 10 fun-filled days of swinging jazz from the Roaring Twenties and beyond from Friday 26 August to Sunday 4 August.
Now in its 25th year, the Noosa Jazz Party brings together music lovers and leading jazz musicians from around the country who are ready to entertain the crowds with classic jazz.
The centre-piece of the festival is the nightly entertainment from Thursday 1 September to Sunday 4 September that will see The J, Noosa Heads, come alive with a flurry of swinging tunes.
Organisers are urging locals to get in quick because early bird tickets are already being sold to interstate jazz fans.
Tickets for performances at The J on Thursday 1, Friday 2, Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September are available now at $40 per night or $135 for the four-nights as an early bird special.
The music starts at 5pm and goes until 11pm. A shuttle bus will be available to The J theatre, plus a bar will be open and a lounge area.
Noosa Jazz Party events will also feature in a range of venues throughout the shire including the popular lunch series at the River Deck Restaurant, Rump House Restaurant, Hastings Street’s Miss Moneypenny’s and a free Sunday concert at the Lions Riverstage, Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.
The Noosa Jazz Club has also teamed up with the Noosa Chorale to present two concerts at The J, Noosa Heads that will celebrate the Roaring Twenties.
The concerts will be held on Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August with 70 of Noosa’s finest singers led by conductor Adrian King teaming up with the Australian Jazz Ensemble featuring Bob Barnard AM, Paul Furniss, Peter Locke, Nigel Date and James Clark, plus remarkable singer Juliarna Clark.
The audience is encouraged to get into the theme of the night and dress in their best 1920s gear as they dance along to Roaring Twenties jazz greats and all-time hits from Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin.
