The Jazz Sessions continues its celebrated concert series with Jazz after Sunset on Saturday August 22 at 6.30pm at the Buderim War Memorial Hall, bringing together emerging talent and contemporary Australian jazz excellence for an inspiring evening of live music.
The concert will open with the Glasshouse Country Christian College Jazz Band, whose energetic band performance will showcase the remarkable talent and enthusiasm of the next generation of jazz musicians.
Headlining the evening is Brisbane's Primetime Sextet, a hard bop ensemble led by saxophonist and composer Ashley Hutton, who recently returned from a three-month residency in New York City studying at the renowned Tribeca Jazz Institute.
Formed from a shared passion for the iconic jazz sextets of the 1960s, the ensemble draws inspiration from Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers and many of the legendary musicians who emerged from that influential group, including Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson, Cedar Walton, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, and Vincent Herring.
Audiences can expect an evening rich in musical expression, featuring everything from vibrant big band sounds to the driving rhythms, sophisticated improvisation, and timeless appeal of hard bop jazz.

This sounds like a fantastic evening of live jazz. Having the college band open for a hard bop sextet is such a smart way to bridge generations of musicians on the same stage. The Primetime Sextet's connection to Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers already tells me this is going to be a night of serious musicianship. I saw a similar live music feature on https://englandderbyshire.co.uk/ about how community concert series are keeping jazz alive for new audiences. Really hope this one gets a great turnout at Buderim!
