BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS

With special guest Peter Gaudion

Saturday 26th October 2024

Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

 

Iconic Melbourne jazz pianist Bob Sedergreen has collaborated with so many wonderful musicians during his sixty years of music making in Melbourne. Tonight’s special guest Peter Gaudion, trumpet & vocal, has led the band Blues Express through a lifetime which has established it as a premier group in Melbourne. Peter also had his own Jazz Club, in the heart of Lonsdale Street Melbourne. As a member of Blues Express Bob has Peter to thank for establishing the fact that American musicians could play and record with their Melbourne counterparts. The Blues Express pioneered this in the recording of ‘Spoon in Australia’.

Tonight, Peter will have the pleasure of playing with two new musicians Gareth Hill on bass, who has immediate rapport with Bob, both Bob and Gareth filling the bass and piano chair in BLOW and also The Ted Vining Trio. Bob is always excited to have Mark Voogd on drums. Mark is an excellent jazz player not only specialising in swing grooves but able to play a multitude of time feels at the right dynamic level. This will be a night of carefree fun and adventure.

Time: 10:00 am

 

Annemarie Sharry is a graduate of the Victorian College Of The Arts, and recipient of the Mabel Kent Singing Scholarship, Annemarie has worked for many years, as both a vocal soloist and choral educator.

As co-founder and Musical Director of Melbourne based SOUTH OF THE RIVER CHOIR, she led the choir to the finals of the ABC Classic FM Choir of the Year Awards in 2006.

This dynamic community choir explores the music and rhythms of Africa, traditional African American gospel and original Australian compositions, through workshops and festivals and have just celebrated their 20-year anniversary.

Bob Sedergreen has worked with famous African American jazz icons like Jimmy Witherspoon, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat Adderley, and  Red Holloway. These experiences have led Bob to acknowledge that Blues and Gospel styles are the roots of jazz music. In Australia Bob has worked with two iconic gospel Queens, being Judy Jacques and Kerri Simpson and both these artists have performed at the Gospel service on numerous occasions with Bob on piano.

Bob and Annemarie Sharry have collaborated for many years not only with Annemarie’s choirs but also in Annemarie’s popular and very long lasting Bossserach show. This year they have chosen to perform items recorded by jazz royalty including Ray Charles, Sister Rosetta Tharp , Nina Simone, Sarsh Vaughan and many others
