Have you ever found yourself wanting to go to a jazz club in Hobart and discovered there isn’t one? That’s exactly what happened to Antony, so he made it happen. That’s right, he made a jazz club (thank goodness for people like Antony).
Held bimonthly at Ivory Bar, the Jazzivory nights started in July and have featured the Jamie Pregnell Trio, Housework (Antony’s own band) and Sweet Potato playing to a full house every time. And yes, you can sometimes get a Hamond Organ thrown in for good measure. Sexy, sexy times.
The nights are planned to be pretty low key so people can still catch up or have a jive if they want, with the bands play right on the floor by the bar so the vibe is intimate.
You can catch the last Jazzivory for the year this Friday night, with two sets from the Jamie Pregnell Trio performing original music, improvisations and jazz standards in a contemporary format.
Guitarist/Composer Jamie Pregnell has recently returned from overseas where he was selected to attend the Banff international workshop in jazz and creative music in June this year. Jamie was able to study with some of the top jazz musicians from around the world and has begun to make plans to record new music from his experience overseas. Upon returning home he has formed The Jamie Pregnell Trio that features Alf Jackson on Drums, and Hamish Houston on Bass.
Next year’s Jazzivory kicks off again on Jan 25th, with 2013 set to feature such Hobart jazz awesomeness as Mia Palencia and, dare we say it, an octet.
