We are super excited to be back at McAdams Wine bar, after a short break. Come join us for cool jazz every Thursday till Christmas.

Help us make Jazz on Thursday nights the best place to go in the Eastern Suburbs. And you’ll see how cool McAdams Wine Bar really is. 

There aren’t many eastern suburb venues that have free entry and support jazz. So we are really happy to be on the program. 

Ann & Kevin will play their favorite jazz standards as well as well known latin & Bossa nova hits. There will some modern tunes with a jazz feel and some interesting chamber jazz featured each week until the end of October. And…. We always take requests. 

Bring your friends. Support this cool, trendy Wine bar & the owners who continue to support musicians and LIVE music. 

Great food, fantastic wine, beer and lots of other choices. 

And… entry is free! 

You don’t have to go all the way to Rhode Island!

Appearing will be:
Caught In The Act!
Rick Correnza with Jazz Notes
and many other artists and bands.

Tickets aren’t available just yet but you can find more information at:

Here’s a fantastic rendition of the 1963 Henry Mancini song, Charade, by Rick Correnza with Jazz Notes, recorded live at SAE Studios. We just love the energy in this performance, don’t you?

Keep an eye on the Jazz Notes Facebook page for more of these performances: we will be releasing more videos over the coming days.

The Miners’ Tavern is nicely set up with a stage and lighting but the 10am start was somewhat challenging. For the evening set in the George Hotel, we had people managing the sound and the result was very pleasing to the large audience and us. You can watch and listen to ‘When Sunny Gets Blue’.

We were delighted to be invited to back Pippa Wilson at the Victorian Jazz Club.

Pippa, Ann and Kevin were reunited with Ron Sandilands (drums). At the last minute, we learned that our bass player was unwell so we were very pleased to meet the safe hands of Geoff Woods.

Jazz Notes keenly supports the activities of the Australian Jazz Museum and we were doubly pleased to have Pippa Wilson fronting the band for this special event at the Museum.

Rick Correnza made his debut with Jazz Notes at Hysteria Lounge, Lilydale for Jan’s Jazz Night on 6 July 2017.

Rick’s renditions in the style of Sinatra, Bublé and Cocker were much-appreciated by the audience.
