Jazz Cult
What is Jazz Cult?
Jazz Cult is a quintet made up of the local all-stars, all of which are formidable front men, well know to the QLD Jazz and improvised music scene. A group with one highly esteemed vocalist is a blessing, we’ve got two. The evening will be an offering of Swing, Hard Bop, Originals and Contemporary favourites, all delivered by a cooking rhythm section and alternating crooning crooners. It’s the best that we present as individuals but all wrapped up in one not to be missed event.
