  • A Walk Through the Museum
    Australian Jazz Museum Proactively Collect, Archive & Disseminate Australian Jazz A WALK THROUGH THE MUSEUM 2015 Location: Koomba Park, 15 Mountain Highway Wantirna, VIC 3152 – Melway 63 C8 Open: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10am-3pm Phone: (03) 9800 5535 Postal Address: PO Box 6007, Wantirna Mall, VIC 3152 Group tours by appointment Page 1 of 7 BACKGROUND Jazz music has been accepted universally as a progressive and sustainable art form. Embracing both the blues and ragtime, it is the only musical art form to emanate from North America – spreading to the Western World via Europe during WWI (1914-18). During the 1920’s in Australia and Victoria in particular, the dance music of the day was sparked by elements of jazz, heard on early records from the USA and was greatly influenced by the musicians performing on these records. Australian jazz musicians – both early and contemporary – are held in high esteem locally and internationally, and much of their work is now of important historical significance to our national heritage. In the mid 1990’s jazz enthusiasts realized Australian jazz-related material and memorabilia was being destroyed by the ravages of time and were in great danger of losing this valuable and historic part of our performing arts heritage. In 1996 the Victorian Jazz Archive Inc. (VJA) was established to: Create an accurate account of the history of Jazz in Victoria and Australia. Collect, preserve and exhibit all types of Australian recorded jazz music, material and memorabilia. Provide a home for significant private jazz collections which otherwise would be lost to future generations.
