Melbourne's so great ( 
) that the jazz festival even makes it into the sports pages...
Here's some of "Will Minson" from The Age website www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/observations-from-round-four/2009/04/19/1240079539602.html?page=2
ASK WILL
We've had a few rounds to settle in, Will. So who do you think is ready to start making a big noise?
Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, that's who. Cecil Taylor, Joshua Redman Trio, Actis Data Quartet, if you fancy an Italian horn injection to your aurally aromatic polyrhythms and syncopation. Julien Wilson Quintet with Jim Black. Bill Frisell. Katie Noonan. Oh, be still my beating heart! What a blessed time to be in Melbourne - golden leaves crunching underfoot like opposition midfielders, a sparkling new recital centre with a pitch to make one tremble, and now a line-up to do it justice! Be merciful, Master Eade, for your granite-edged ruckman-forward with the encephalonic capacity of an IBM zSeries 800 may not have his gargantuan mind entirely on the job in the ensuing fortnight, such are the delicious distractions afoot. From Hamer Hall to the Malthouse, the Iwaki Auditorium to the guilty pleasures of my sweet Bennett's Lane. Life could only be better if the Bulldogs had recruited Paul Grabowsky instead of Jason Akermanis.
