The Canberra Jazz Initiative 1993 Revisited!

Join us for another evening of contemporary jazz recorded in Canberra (at Tilley’s Café in Lyneham we think!) on 23 October 1993. As part of our historic sound preservation project, and with the support of the Community Broadcasting Foundation, we are delighted to showcase local talent of the era. Many of the musicians you will hear were trained at the ANU School of Music Jazz Faculty and have progressed to prestigious careers in the jazz scene in Australia.

Features: Steve Elphick (bass - Ten Part Invention), Geoff Eades (guitar), Murray Jackson (sax - Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra), Anthony Kable (trombone - he's toured and recorded with Silverchair and Midnight Oil), Phil Collings (drums), Michelle Morgan (vocal).

Produced and presented by Chris Deacon OAM. Sponsored by B2B, Canberra's leading business and government magazine, and supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation and artsACT.

ANZAC DAY SPECIAL PROGRAMS

At 11AM on ANZAC Day, we have pleasure in re-broadcasting "An Ordinary War - A Radio Play of World War 1" by local writer Bart Meehan.   The play recounts the experiences of three people during World War 1:  Agnes (a British country girl who served in an administrative role behind the lines in France); George (a British public school boy who enlisted at the beginning of the war; and Lance (a Sydney shopkeeper who joined the AIF and served in France.)   The play has been adapted from the real experiences.
