Link to the Show / Show NotesThe Queensland Conservatorium's free Jazz Cafe, now in its eighth year, is a great place to relax at the end of a long week. In an informal setting on the lawn outside the Conservatorium, the Jazz Cafes feature staff and student groups from the Conservatorium presenting a wide variety of jazz styles and tunes. The Conservatorium's Red Note Cafe is licensed for each Jazz cafe to provide a tasty range of hot and cold food with wine, beer or your choice of coffees available from 4.30pm. Check www.griffith.edu.au/concerts for updates and further information on the performers and their music.
The Collective Ensemble consists of some of the more experienced jazz students situated at the Queensland Conservatorium. They play a wide range of repertoire ranging from jazz standards and reinterpretations of classic tunes to the original compositions of keyboardist Joseph O'Connor. This is the second time they have performed at Jazz Cafe and this time their set entirely consisted of reinterpretations of jazz standards, many of them ballads.
