Following the Annual General Meeting of the Victorian Jazz Club held on Thursday 25th July, the membership is hereby advised of the following administration and general committee appointments voted into office. Approximately 55 members attended the meeting, with recorded apologies from a further 15 members.

President - Warren Denmead Vice President - Ian Richardson Treasurer - Larissa Beck Secretary - Liz Thommers

General Committee: Graeme Akerman, Elspeth Coote, Geoff Tobin, Gordon Shaw, Marina Pollard,, Jaquie Krasse, Pam Young.

Retiring President Marg Hendrie spoke of her experiences through 17 years of committee work with the VJC which embraced the various stages of the Club’s progression, listed the areas in which the Club has been able to thrive thanks to the magnificent bequest of the late John Newman, and predicted that the Club was in a very fortunate position to progress into the 21st Century with two worthwhile venues, updated vital equipment and a healthy bank balance. She reported that the Committee was currently working in a very positive and cohesive manner, and hoped that this good situation would continue. Those present were shown the inroads made into the computerised records of the Club’s membership , and were also given a “sneak preview” of the new updated Website which is nearing completion., Both were well received.

Marg wished the incoming administration and committee well for their future endeavours, and after the voting of those present by a show of hands, agreed to continue as Editor of Jazzbeat on a two monthly basis. The meeting closed at 9.30.pm and was followed by the serving of light refreshments over which conversation was enjoyed. She was presented with a lovely floral arrangement, and both Kevin Bolton and Ken Mooney acknowledged her work for the Club over recent years. JAZZ CRUISE - 2020 on The Ruby Princess Featuring

VERY SUCCESSFUL VISIT FROM NEW ZEALAND FOR ANDREW LONDON TRIO

The very talented Andrew London with his trio made their first visit to Melbourne during the last week of June . Their first gig at the Eltham Bowling Club was a sell-out receiving the most wonderful audience response possible, which required playing 20 minutes overtime with “encore” requests. Together with Shifafa - Jason Downes new combo with Sandra Talty, Richard Mander, Peter Baylor and Rob Moffat it was an absolutely brilliant evening of music and satire. This gig was followed on Sunday 30th with VJC’s event “ Swing Syncopation and Satire” at the Clayton RSL . Again a fabulous response from the audience, and the end result is that those who missed hearing them this time will have another opportunity as they have promised to return. Other bands on the Sun- day were Slip Dixies, Jam Jar and the Jazz Workshops band - all of whom played brilliantly and were very well received. Also in attendance on the day was a representative from the Bendigo Community Bank Ian Siebert, who presented this year’s sponsorship cheque to the Club and spoke in glowing terms of what the VJC was doing, and how pleased he was with what he saw during his visit. Ian was particularly impressed with the standard of the Workshops band under the guidance of Marina Pollard. Ron Jobe had his trusty camera at work on the day, and you’ll find pictures of the event inside the back cover of this issue. 3 AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2019 REGULAR BAND GIGS AROUND MELBOURNE

Jam Jar Jazz Band

Having caused a great stir with their prowess in St. John’s Church at the Port Fairy Jazz Festival in February of this year, Jam Jar have been asked to perform at the Clayton RSL for the VJC on 10th August. Several well re- spected older musicians were very taken with their talent at Port Fairy, so why not come along, hear them and support the younger exponents of the jazz genre.

WEDNESDAY 21st AUGUST —EAST MALVERN R.S.L. 7.30 PM—10 PM Brennan Hamilton-smith & his Winin’ Boys

Brennan Hamilton Smith is a very talented young musician who received the VJC’s Patrick Flint award earlier in the year for his prowess on reeds. His appearance at the East Malvern RSL will see him joined on stage by Eugene Ball tpt, Kade Brown piano, Howard Cairns bass, Ben Hendrie drums and Chris Vizard trombone. It is very encouraging to see so many young musicians forming new bands and carrying the jazz genre safely into the next generation or two - but they must be encouraged by having all the older generation of jazz followers support them in their efforts to become known, proficient and sought after - so come along and hear them ! And don’t forget to book!

SATURDAY 31st AUGUST —CLAYTON R.S.L. 8PM. - 11PM Hot Club Swing

This gypsy swing combo from the Geelong area have been a popular band with all V\JC members for some years now - they play great music for those who choose to sit and listen, and also appeal greatly to the dancers.

This is certainly a date to put in your diaries as one not to be missed ! Don’t forget to book!

This iconic couple were the highlight of jazz festivals some years ago, and made their name on TV with their prowess and agility on the dance floor.
