Rhiannon and Laurence Hobgood – Saturday August 3rd, 2019
It’s Saturday night. And it’s Day 3 of our 2019 Brisbane Vocal Jazz Festival.
You have just parked your car.
And if I may offer a word of advice before you come in……just for tonight….leave all of the following in that car…
Your preconceptions about what Jazz is.
Your yearning for the familiar, in melody and lyric.
Your desire to tap your feet to a defined, confined, comfortable musical form and structure.
The Duke, Count Basie, Miles, Trane, Ella, Sarah, Carmen, Billie, Frank, Chet, Nat, Kurt Elling…
Sammy Cahn…
