The final ‘Jazz at Jamison’ session for the year will feature Canberra’s fabulous local traditional Dixieland band, the Zackerbilks. 

This professional eight-piece band of young musicians, led by vocalist Miriam Miley-Reid, has a huge following in Canberra. The band plays to rave reviews and has earned its reputation as Canberra’s leading jazz band. Known for its high energy and entertaining style, the band is also much in-demand at jazz clubs and festivals up and down the eastern seaboard.

Zackerbilks has that vintage feel, both in their music and their presentation. Enjoy 3 hours of Dixieland music from the turn of the century, through to some of today’s popular tunes reworked to sound like a Dixieland cover. 

You don’t want to miss a performance from the Zackerbilks! Music from 1pm in the lounge. 

Dear members,

Please find your latest CJC newsletter attached. We hope you enjoy the read.

Of note, memberships became due for renewal from 1 July. There is an opportunity to renew by cash at Jamison on 13 October but if you can, we would prefer payment by bank transfer please. Diana Bradney, who sits at President John’s table will be there to take any cash renewals.

The member’s CJC Christmas luncheon will be held on Sunday 1 December and the “party band” the Zackerbilks will entertain us. We are faced with rising catering costs again this year, too much for your small Club to fully absorb, so the members’ price for lunch will be $35, guests $45. Again, we would prefer your payment online in the same manner that you use to pay your renewal, but Linda Wiese will also take bookings with cash at our next Jamison gig.

Yours in jazz

Linda Wiese
