The Convention archives are housed at the Australian Jazz Museum which maintains a collection of Australian and overseas jazz material. The Australian Jazz Museum arose out of a meeting held in Sydney on 23rd June 1996 to address growing concern among the jazz community that the rich Australian Jazz heritage was at risk of being lost. The inaugural meeting of the Australian Jazz Museum was held at the then Whitehorse Hotel in Melbourne on 18th August 1996. www.ajm.org.au UPCOMING EVENTS……….. “Y ES IT’S ON AGAIN” The Maryborough reunion will be back again this year with a difference.

Gerard Ballainger Presidents Word –Gerard Ballinger MAY 2019 May was a busy month for the Ballarat Jazz Club, with two performances given by; the Ballarat High School and Steve Waddell’s Creole Bells revival band, with spe- cial guest vocalist Beverley Sheehan. To coordinate these events, our volunteer committee donate their time and do a lot of behind the scenes Jazz is music work, to present quality Jazz for our members and non- passed onto members. Well done everyone for a great team effort, each new gen- we all appreciate what you do. th eration by On the 5 May, Ballarat High School presented an out- standing afternoon of quality musicianship from stu- playing it...you dents and teachers. Damien Woods and Bryn Hills are to have to jam be congratulated and thanked for the wonderful work they do in promoting jazz in together. school. It was very encouraging to see so many people attend and provide encourage- ment and support. The Ballarat Jazz Club donated $1000 to the Ballarat High School, for encouragement and support. th Your only as Our second performance was held on 26 May. Steve Waddell’s Creole Bells Revival Band have not performed at the club for a couple of years, it was great to see and hear good as the them again. As a bonus, Beverley Sheehan performed with the band. Beverley is the sis- company you ter to legendary Australian singer Judith Durham from The Seekers. It was such a lovely keep……..Don privilege to meet her and to learn about her history in Jazz, it is obvious the talent that Burrows runs in the family. Her quality singing and friendly personality was certainly well re- ceived by everyone that attended. I was so very pleased to be able to chat with her briefly during her performance and to meet her in person. At our next gig on 16th June, the very popular Sugarfoot Ramblers return. The level of musicianship that will be displayed, will be certainly worth hearing. They are a young and energetic band, playing some old-style jazz. I encourage everyone to come along and enjoy the afternoon of great music and friendship. I would like to remind everyone to renew their membership and help promote the club. Let’s spread the word about the privileges of being a member, not only do you have the opportunity of hearing great jazz at a discounted rate, it is also a great opportunity to form new friendships. It is my aim to reach the magic 200 members but without your support and encouragement, this will be difficult to reach. I look forward to seeing you all at the next gig.

  • All the Girls in Town: the Missing Women of Australian Rock, Cultural Memory and Coverage of the Death of Chrissy Amphlett1
    [PB 15.2 (2014) 149-166] Perfect Beat (print) ISSN 1038-2909 doi:10.1558/prbt.v15i2.18363 Perfect Beat (online) ISSN 1836-0343 Catherine Strong All the girls in town: The missing women of Australian rock, cultural memory and coverage of the death of Chrissy Amphlett1 Catherine Strong is an Associate Lecturer in School of Media and Communication Music Industry at RMIT University, Australia. She RMIT University is author of Grunge: Music and Memory (Ashgate, GPO Box 2476 2011) and co-editor (with Barbara Lebrun) of the Melbourne, VIC, 3001 forthcoming Death and the Rock Star (Ashgate, Australia 2015). [email protected] Abstract This article will use the cultural and media materials produced around the death of Chrissy Amphlett as a way of interrogating the fact that surprisingly few resources exist that document or commemorate the contribution of women to the rock music scene in Australia. As Amphlett is unusual in being a woman who has, even before her death, claimed a place in the Australian rock canon, examining materials that are designed to construct her legacy upon her passing will provide examples of how women in Australian rock are discussed. It will be demonstrated that Amphlett’s gender is central to these discussions, and that she is used to both obscure the con- tributions of other women performers and to deny a need for women musicians to even be an object of discussion at all. These findings will be analysed using Aleida Assmann’s concepts of functional and storage memory, and it will be argued that the lack of information that we have about past female rockers makes it harder for women in Australia to see this field as one they can participate in, and also makes the retention of memories about currently successful women musicians less likely.
