Their music is
mostly the well-known beginnings of Jazz as in the first half of
the 20th century.
‘It’s the happy
Jazz - real toe tappin’ music’.
Extensive
experience is an essential ingredient in the rapport that the
Band has developed.
It’s the
difference between musicians just sharing a stage - and ‘A
Band’.

FROM THE PRESIDENT
It was
great to see and hear the New Galapagos Duck with its lineup of
great local musicians do their thing so brilliantly on the 7th
June at the Southport Yacht Club (SYC). (See Colin Jones’ review)
Your committee intends to continue to seek out and stage the very best
of live jazz each month.
One of
the main projects of your committee this year is to upgrade staging of
our events by improving lighting and sound at our Southport Yacht Club
headquarters. We have begun investigating the most cost effective way to
achieve this and will keep you informed of our progress.
It is
also a pleasure to report that a decision has been taken to present each
month, commencing August, a series of at least 6 Great Big Bands from
around the SEQ corner of the State. These events will likely be
presented on Sunday afternoons at the SYC.
The Big
Band series will be in addition to quality interstate bands which will
continue to be presented on the first Monday of each month (wherever
possible)
Please
remember that the GCCJC committee welcomes your feedback about any ideas
on how to improve or offer better value to our membership. I look
forward to seeing you all at VMR for the Black Opals gig on the 27th
June.

*The New GALAPAGOS DUCK*
CONCERT REVIEW Monday 7th
JUNE
By Colin Jones
The Power Duck!
It was with high anticipation and expectations in attendance when
this band of superb musicians struck up with the first notes of
Dizzy Gillespie’s “Tanga”. I certainly wasn’t disappointed
and with the calibre of collective technique on the stand I knew I
was in for a memorable evening.
Willy Qua
has been telling me for some time about his new band and this was
their first outing and so they are still really getting to know each
other. Hence the few minor ensemble glitches but this will be a band
to watch as they firm up thorough their tour. The Yacht Club room
was well attended and wonder of wonders, most people stayed to the
end.
Dave Ades
does indeed have a big, big sound and monumental chops. Willie and
he pair up beautifully. Having pianist Wil Sargisson just
enhances the collective power of the band, and not forgetting
drummer Dave Sanders propelling the group along. I was
knocked out by Max Stowers’ bass playing, both electric and
acoustic and I believe he also plays guitar.
The material was complex but also included some old standards
dressed up in contemporary style and I am sure Sidney Bechet would
have approved.
Singer/bassist Ian Beddows provided a vocal with his version
of Misty and also furnished the sound for this event. Good
one Ian.
I’ll be hanging out for this group to make another appearance and
they will go from strength to strength with the standard of
musicianship on display this night.

OUR LOCAL MUSICIANS
Ian Beddows

Ian Beddows has been working as a musician for more than forty years and
has
covered many styles of music, as a singer, bassist and/or guitarist,
from his early
days of playing Hendrix and Cream, with his first trio, through to his
current
repertoire of modern contemporary jazz and Latin and original music. He
has
worked with renowned Australian and overseas artists, including John
Farnham,
James Morrison, Don Burrows and Venetta Fields, to name a few, and with
his
own band he has played support for artists equally as well-known, such
as Vince
Jones, Georgie Fame, Barbara Morrison, the late Nina Simone and Ronnie
Scott.
Ian has performed all around Australia and S.E. Asia, at venues as
diverse as five
star Hotels, Casinos, Restaurants, Jazz Festivals, Town and City Halls,
and
weddings in tin sheds.
His plans are to keep playing until he drops!
Ian has taught many private music students over the years, guitar,
electric bass,
double bass and vocal technique. His years of professional experience
and his
passion for music are invaluable assets in the education process.
