    Event description

    The Manly Jazz Festival is back, and MAG&M is hosting a special Opening Party to push the boat out on festivities!

    Hot jazz, cool talk, big organ swirls, and soul from the '60s to now - UPBEAT features ABC’s resident raconteur James Valentine in an intimate setting, and with an all-star band.

    Beginning his career in the hay day of Aussie pub rock, James has worked as an in-demand session and touring musician for artists such as Joe Camilleri, Kate Ceberano, Wendy Matthews, and The Models. He has since forged a formidable career as a presenter, author, speaker, and ABC 702 + Jazzman.

    In this special double bill, pianist Amando Suwondo and her trio will draw on her Indonesian heritage and influences of pop and R&B to showcase her smoky vocal harmonies, distinctive improvisations, and original compositions.

    Program:

    5pm – Doors open

    5:30pm – Amanda Suwondo Trio

    6:30pm – James Valentine’s UPBEAT

    Includes light refreshments. Wine by Little Ripples, MAG&M Event Sponsor.

    Ticketholders are entitled to a complimentary Negroni at the Manly Pavilion following the show.

    Tickets are strictly limited.
