PRESS RELEASE
Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival 8th - 20th of May 2005
Presented by: Lebowski’s, Half Bent and the Make It Up Club
Following in the tradition of fringe festivals that take place alongside major international festivals around the world, three independent Melbourne organisations that present original jazz year-round, now band together for the first time to create the Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival.
Running concurrent to Umbria Jazz – Melbourne ‘05, the Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival will celebrate Melbourne’s burgeoning creative jazz scene. Ten nights of original music featuring many of Melbourne’s most celebrated improvisers, Melbourne Jazz Fringe kicks off with BIG ARSE SUNDAY… an afternoon and evening of wonderful strangeness, deep groove, dissonance, melody, cacophony and the beauty of song, at Lebowski’s (hosted by the Fitzroy Bowls Club 578 Brunswick St North Fitzroy). BIG ARSE SUNDAY will include the Melbourne premiere of Adam Simmons’ Creative Music Ensemble, Murphy’s Law, The Hoodangers, Vada, Michelle Nicole and Stephen Magnusson’s What Reason and finish up with the massive groove of Phil Bywater’s Fela Kuti tribute, Big Fela.
Following BIG ARSE SUNDAY is a series of performances at venues including The Make It Club’s regular haunt, Bar Open in Fitzroy, Wesley Anne in Northcote, the Time Out Café in Fed Square, Café 303 in Northcote, and La Mama Musica, which are all venues committed to nurturing Melbourne’s creative jazz scene. These gigs will include performances of regular groups and special one off collaborations featuring the Scott Tinkler Trio, world sax competition winner Jamie Oehlers and his quartet, Andrea Keller, Eugene Ball, Anita Hustas, Ronny Ferella’s Maximalists, Peter Knight, Tamara Murphy, Ren Walters, Shannon Barnett, Stephen Magnusson, Marc Hannaford, Tim Pledger, Ed Fairlie, Ian Whitehurst, Mick Meagher, Phil Collings’ Humusic, Anthony Shulz, Mark Finsterer, Jordan Murray, Jon Delaney, Tom Fryer, Valanga Khoza, Tony Hicks, Kynan Robinson, Jeff Raglus, Gideon Brazil, Phil Noy, Rajiv Jayaweera, Adrian Sherriff, Dan West, Julien Wilson, Stephen Grant, and many more. Come and hear the musicians that give Melbourne the right to claim to be the jazz capital of the southern hemisphere.
