Brisbane Jazz Club
24/01/2024
If you ask Wikipedia to define a jazz club, your answer will be -A jazz club is a venue where the primary entertainment is the performance of live jazz music. If you ask the Brisbane Jazz Club to define themselves your answer will be very different, they would say something along the lines of they are committed to letting the music live on through unforgettable experiences, allowing people from all walks of life to be part of their family of music lovers and jazz enthusiasts, and you know what?
I think that’s spot on! Please watch the video for more information.
The instrument you are hearing for the majority of the time is called the handpan. The handpan was invented in Sweden and has only been around since the early 2000's. The very talented performers name is Lachlan Hawkins who has been playing at the Brisbane Jazz Club since he was 12 years old. If you like what you hear and you would like to hear more you can find Lachlan's 2019 album release - No Enemy Within on Spotify

Hi my name is Helen Abrahams and I'm with the committe of the Brisbane Jazz Club.
The Brisbane Jazz Club is a great place to come, we are experienced with all abilities.
And welcome, it is a place where you can come,
sit down, listen to music with other
people who are also listening.
The music is diverse, it's soul, it's blues,
it's standard jazz, it's vocal,
it's musicians who can be in a great big band
with all the beautiful noise of the big band.
You can have a meal and a glass of wine.
And really just enjoy meeting
other people who love to be out and listening to music
(Peter) Thank you so much, we had such a great night
