Whoever
you compare E-Type to, there is no denying this group is up there
with the best of them. The way they wrap their songs in contemporary
jazz/soul conjures images of a late night dinner party jam session
with Joss Stone and Michael Bublé. This five- piece group,
has been known and loved for their contemporary jazz for the past
15 years.
Based
in Adelaide, Gail Kingston and Hot Foot Jazz are an eight piece
1920’s jazz and gospel band that perform at jazz festivals
around Australia. Gail Kingston is a professional jazz singer who
performs both as solo artist and with her band.
This
Melbourne based band plays an exciting style of music inspired
by the happy and carefree jazz of the 1920s. Their extensive repertoire
embraces Dixieland favourites, popular tunes from the 20s and 30s,
as well as compositions by such legendary Australian jazzmen as
Graeme Bell and Ade Monsbourgh, both of whom have performed with
the band.
The
Maryborough Band has been a regular at the Festival since 1989.
In that time they have evolved into a polished and popular outfit
with an extensive following throughout the state. Dancers, in particular,
find their beat irresistible, and once Maryborough take the stage
you will be drawn to the dance floor.
This
year Loose Goose will appear at Mildura in a six-piece format with
the inclusion of talented S.A. alto sax/flautist Bill Clarke, previously
at Mildura with the Eddie White All-stars. John Adams, one of Melbourne’s

Songbook is a trio dedicated to playing the music of the Great
American Songbook. Propelled by long standing friends and associates
Tim Bowen - bass and Ben Riley - drums, Songbook endeavours to
stretch this wonderful genre of compositions to the brink without
loosing the vital essence of jazz, swing and melody.
