With Rohan Wallis

Friday 19th December 2025

Time: 8:00 – 10:00 pm

 

Bob and Mal Sedergreen are well known jazz and blues identities in Melbourne’s live music scene. Both have performed locally and internationally at concerts and major jazz festivals. Ivan Rosa is an experienced, driving and empathetic bassist whose association with Bob, spans decades, involving many live gigs, residencies and recordings.  Mark Voogd is a popular drummer due to his ability to handle most musical situations but especially his affinity of propulsive jazz time a la Jimmy Cobb.

Bob’s special guest, Rohan Wallis is, perhaps one of Melbourne’s most eclectic musicians. A handy trumpeter/flugelhornist, a swinging and relaxed vocal delivery and in demand DJ. His influences include as well as jazz, electronic music and progressive and post-modern music. Rohan always connects with his audience.

Whatever these musicians choose to play on the night will reflect their years of dedication to the playing and teaching of music in Melbourne. Don’t miss a night, where you can hear a blend of jazz and popular standards

BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS

With Special Guest Chantal Mitvalsky

Friday 16th January 2026

Time: 8:00  pm

 

Legendary Melbourne pianist Bob Sedergreen first came across Chantal Michalsky when she enrolled in his jazz vocal course as a teenager. He realised Chantal loved performing, had listened to the great jazz vocalists of the past and yet did not copy them. Chantal had an irrepressible stage personality, and she went onto study and perform music more seriously in Canada and the USA. She returned to Melbourne as lead vocalist in the popular group Cannonball, Chantal’s powerful delivery is capable of coping with swinging standards, blues and soul with clarity and authority. Chantal can also interpret ballads with sensitivity and understanding.

Bob’s featured group for this occasion is trusted friends, bassist Ivan Rosa, drummer Mark Voogd and energetic and gifted saxophonist Mal Sedergreen. look forward to an exciting concert!!
