International Jazz Day

The Jazz and Blues Collective presents Hot Peppers Swing Jazz Band on Sunday April 30.

Hot Peppers Swing is a style of jazz that, unlike Dixieland, features a smoother beat, with flowing phrasing and less complex rhythms. Love songs, marches, Blues, extraordinary harmonics, and a passion for this music are the hallmark elements of this band, who have fun whilst appreciating the music of that fabulous era of dance. (Pictured, vocalist and trumpet player Peter Uppman.)

With top line Queensland musicians, this is a nostalgic glimpse into the rich tradition of the golden age of Swing.

Join them for International Jazz Day, putting the Sunshine Coast Australia on the world map as a contributor to this event.
