To celebrate its 35th Anniversary, the MJC is holding an eight-hour event (and party) featuring eight outstanding groups, with some of our leading improvisers:
The line-up for this big-arse Sunday (remember those?) equivalent is as follows:
12.30pm Andrea Keller
Simon Barker
1.30pm Trumpet iconoclast Scott Tinkler & Sydney drummer Simon Barker
2.30pm MiroBall: a specially-formed 10-piece (co-led by trumpeter/composers Eugene Ball and Sydney’s Miroslav Bukovsky)
3.30pm Jenny Barnes & Mick Meagher
4.30pm Sam Keevers’ Red Fish Blue
5.30pm Gian Slater & Invenio choir

6.30pm Barney McAll Trio
7.30pm 2017 National Jazz Brass Award winner James Macaulay‘s 7-piece Happy Hoppy Orchestra
Well-priced bar service and snacks available throughout the day, with lots of the musician community helping out. Like our 30th. Anniversary Concert at The Edge, a not-to-be-missed event! Air-conditioned venue.
Tickets: $35/$25 concession & MJC Members/$20 Gold MJC Members/$70 Family via TryBooking
So get down to Cross St where the cool cats are hangin’ when it’s 39C in Melbs.
