Jazz Music Institute (JMI) is a higher education provider based in Brisbane, Australia delivering accredited courses in music specialising in jazz performance. JMI also runs a jazz club on campus open to the public every Thursday and Friday night called JMI Live. The sessions have been streaming live from Facebook and YouTube, reaching a broader audience – and creating an amazing archive of performances.
The club may be closed, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the gigs are still going ahead online, every Thursday.
This week JMI Live featured guitaristToby Wren and bassist Andrew Shaw in a special performance titled:
Distancing with the Stars!
The jazz exploits of two at-risk musicians as they stand at opposite ends of the stage, clinging to their fading musicianship and a half-remembered idea of what interactive music-making used to be.
Featuring an all-crisis program including:
- Dont Get Around Much Anymore
- CorCOVADo-19
- Solitude
- I Got it Bad
- Its Only a Toilet Paper Moon
- Fever
Enjoy!
