Merimbula Jazz Festival this Queen's Birthday Long Weekend 2013

Last Tuesday night on a Mixed Bag with Chris B on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, our theme was jazz, and we heard jazz standards from great female singers like Billie Holiday, music from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, Dudley Moore and many other great jazz tunes.  We also heard music from local musician Paul Dion, and Melbourne musician Pippa Wilson, a regular performer at the Merimbula Jazz Festival every year.
I'm looking forward to going to the Merimbula Jazz Festival this year.  Here is a link to my interview with Bob Stevens from the Merimbula Jazz Festival committee, talking about what will be happening at the festival and about the great work of the volunteers.

I can highly recommend the Merimbula Jazz Festival, whether you are 8 years old or you are 80 years old - there is something for everyone.

Next Tuesday night on A Mixed Bag with Chris B, our theme will be Deborahs, so we will be hearing music from Deborah Conway, Deborah Harry with Blondie, and any other Deborah's I can think of!

So, if you live in the Bega Valley, tune in on Tuesday night between 6.00pm and 8.00pm on 93.7 Edge FM.
