We last played at the Victorian Jazz Club when Pippa invited the Jazz Notes Show Band to back her in Feb 2020. It was one of our last gigs for the year. Luckily, things are turning around now and we are looking forward to joining Pippa again at the VJC in March.

It’ll be a great night of jazz with the fabulous Pippa Wilson backed by Ann Craig (flute), Kevin Blazé (guitar), Todd Sidney (keys), Leon Heale (bass) & Dean Cooper (drums)

Here’s our version of Horace Silver’s 1965 tune, Pretty Eyes.

We hope you enjoy this exciting jazz waltz, based on Dee Dee Bridgwater’s 1995 recording from her album, Love and Peace: A Tribute to Horace Silver.
