The stylish, horn-led JMQ Jazz Ensemble will feature outstanding and versatile jazz vocalist, REBECCA BARNARD in the Parisian Loft on Saturday, December 5th.
Rebecca grew up in a legendary Jazz family, with her renowned drummer father, Len, his brother, Bob, an accomplished Jazz trumpet and their bands. The great Jazz Standards are in her DNA, and while she has evolved into a versatile and wide-ranging performer, this evening she returns to the Jazz influences of her youth, with all time favourites.
She has featured in many Australian bands: The Escalators (1982-1984), Black Coffee (and the Beans) (1985), Wayback 5 (1986), Romance Without Finance, Peaceful Anticipation Social Aid and Pleasure Club (1990), Stephen Cummings Band (1986 and 1990–91), Triple Peaks (1991), and the Rebecca Barnard Band (1992). When songwriting became a focus, she founded the band Rebecca’s Empire, which toured extensively, supported Billy Bragg on his Australian tour, released three EPs and two albums (Way of All Things in 1996, and Welcome in 1999) and appeared on the Triple J Hottest 100 albums three years in a row....
