Join Monica Trapaga and The Pocket Trio for a night of swinging jazz, good humour, and infectious energy.

One of Australia’s favourite entertainers, Monica brings her signature warmth, wit, and charisma to the stage, honed through her years with Play School, Pardon Me Boys, and Monica and the Moochers. She has described her “fairly crazy Latin family” as instrumental in developing her musical tastes and influencing her exploration of a range of contemporary styles performing with jazz, pop and big bands. A born entertainer, this veteran performer has covered a plethora of musical styles and settings, from lounge to swing and Afro-Cuban big band, delighting audiences.

Joining her are The Pocket Trio; a feel-good jazz ensemble known for their tight arrangements and groovy pockets. They take inspiration from the classic piano trios from the jazz canon, from Oscar Peterson, Bill Charlap, Christian McBride, and Ahmad Jamal.

Together, Monica and The Pocket Trio deliver an evening of feel-good jazz that swings hard and grooves deep, music full of life, style, and joy.
