Heritage City Jazz brings together a wealth of National and International experience while still being true to our local roots as a band that sees itself part of the Ipswich-Brisbane community.
We are available in several formats to suit a range of venues and functions.
- As a duo – female vocal plus sax/clarinet and our own lightly scored, professional backings.
- As a trio – fully live with male and female vocals, sax/clarinet and piano/bass pedals.
- As a quartet – as above with the addition of drums.
Heritage city jazz can play in range of musical styles from the 1920s to the 2020s, but tends to favour popular tunes from the Great American Song Book eg those tunes made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Mel Torme etc.
