Burrinja Café has undergone renovation and change of management. During that time, there was no live music.
Jazz Notes opened Burrinja’s Sunday afternoon program on 28 June 2015.
It started with Ann Craig (flute) and Kevin Blazé (guitar). They were joined by Daniel Pickard (bass) and, for the second set, Wade Morgan (vocals).

The Ann Craig Trio was invited to play for the Castlemaine-Maldon round trip.
We were not prepared for the considerable sideways movement as we journeyed. Brace yourself!

The Ann Craig Trio had two sets in stationary venues!
The first set was in Run, Rabbit, Run which has a central atrium, making it challenging for photography. The Trio was also asked to fill the previous spot, for which we were joined by Ange Strickland (vocals).
Lot 19 is an art space outside the town and is a good setting for a quiet evening set.

It was a fun night at La Niche. Very relaxed.
Intimate (squeezy): Kevin had to find a new way of playing the guitar to avoid hitting Ann!
Antony joined us for a couple of songs.
Thanks to those who came along. From the sounds of things, we’ll be back!

Kevin was originally scheduled to play in a guitar duo but illness interfered.
Ann Craig (flute) stepped in and, on Saturday night, we were joined by Brian Paulusz (who was available to play guitar at 5 minutes notice but for only 20 minutes), giving Frank O’Brien (bass) just enough time to travel from his previous set!
On the Sunday, Ann, Kevin and Frank settled into some playing when Anne Hayres appeared, joining the trio with some vocals.
On both occasions, the audience was enthusiastic and supportive.

Ann and Kevin played a relaxing Sunday afternoon set at The Treble Clef Jazz Lounge and were joined again by Risa Kodani (vocals) for a few songs. (We’re told that singing is good for babies in utero!)

On Wednesday, 4 December, 2013, Jazz Notes played at the opening of the Mayoral Art Exhibition at the Maroondah Art Gallery.
The exhibition was presented by the Croydon Branch of the Bone Marrow Institute to raise funds for research into leukaemia and associated cancers.
We were delighted when so many people took the trouble to tell us how much they enjoyed the music! (We enjoyed it, too!)

The Seniors Festival takes place over a week with events throughout Victoria. For more information, see the Seniors’ Festival web site.
On 16 September, the Hon. Ryan Smith MP opened the renovated Warrandyte Community Centre.
The crowd braved the miserable weather and was rewarded by the delightful, new building, wine and canapés and, of course, treated to the music of Jazz Notes!
