Hi Jazz Cats,
A busy month ahead for Jazz in Hamilton. First off on the 25th January 2015 at the Hamilton Jazz Society Inc, we see the welcome return of Canadian Trumpeter and multi instrumentalist, MikeField and his awesome band, those of you that have seen him know the quality of performance Mike and his band brings. He will also be performing at the Nivara Lounge, Victoria Street, Hamilton City Centre 8 pm till late on Saturday, 31st Jan 2015, where you will have a chance to hear this awesome musician again. Its not very often we get the chance to hear North American Jazz musicians in our own club this is one not to miss!
Also, on Sunday February 1st, Hamilton Gardens have asked us to take part in the Katherine Mansfield, Garden Party which is staged in the Gardens. In 1922 Katherine Mansfield, a prominent New Zealand author, released a collection of short stories entitled The Garden Party which was set in 1922 (the same time as The Great Gatsby). This is a great way for the HJS to support the Gardens and the local community, so come along with a picnic, enjoy the gardens at its best, take a stroll while listening to live music sounding through the summer air. Also enjoy the vintage car show, watch the swing dancers from Wai-Kat Swing and take a jump-jive lesson. We hope that we can promote Jazz in the Hamilton community and generate new HJS members.
Happy Jazzy Swinging 2015!
Dear Members, the Committee and I would just like to thank you for your continued support of jazz music in Hamilton through HJS.
Simon Hopewell
HJS President
