PABLO BLITZER - MANOUCHE JAZZ QUARTET
Pablo Blitzer is a Composer and Multi-Instrumentalist from Buenos Aires, Argentina and now living on the Coffs coast.
He started his musical training at the age of 9, and by the time he was 13 he was accepted at one of Buenos Aires’s most renowned conservatoriums. Pablo now performs with several musical outfits as well as teaching music at Coffs Con.
Manouche Jazz is 'a version of swing music that was born around the 1930’s in France from the influence of the music that was coming in from the USA and the folkloric language of a particular group of people of manouche (gypsy) descent. It’s also a great way for non-jazz listeners to dip their toes in the genre, as it is light-hearted and happy and very accessible to everyone.'
KAYA BOOM
Local Nambucca resident Kaya will be closing the evening with a drumming parade, grab some shakers and join in the fun!
