An intimate evening with Australia's undisputed King of fine Jazz and a band of sublime musicians. Take a seat for James Morrison when he takes centre stage to lead his players through a set of hot toons and cool arrangements along with the gal he describes as "The greatest gift to Australian Jazz in the last decade".

Dinner & Show tickets: $71.80 per person

This is always a great show and I thought we'd go the whole hog this time and do dinner too.

If you have any questions about payment or anything else, please email me - jkapp@bigpond.com.

Mothership Orchestra

Panichi is really one of Australia’s best players. His sound is powerful and intense – filled with conviction – you can hear New York in it – Drum Media.

Australia’s leading creative jazz orchestra, The Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra, pairs with one of Australia’s most accomplished musicians to celebrate trombonist / composer, Dave Panichi’s 50th Birthday.

Already a legendary figure of Australian Jazz, Dave has performed with the Buddy Rich Big Band, Bob Mintzer Band, Mulgrew Miller, Dave Liebman, Maria Schneider, Blood Sweat and Tears (to name a few) and during his 20-odd years based in New York established himself as a highly respected musician and composer in the toughest music scene in the world.

To celebrate this milestone event, the Mothership Orchestra has invited Dave to present a set of his large ensemble music, including some new compositions written specifically for the night.

With an opening set by the orchestra featuring their original compositions, this evening promises to be a special event not to be missed.
