Chasing the Moon
10 December 2025,12:30 pm – 3:30 pm, at the Freeway Hotel, Artarmon.
Sydney jazz band, Chasing the Moon plays Hot Club Jazz, Latin and swing with energy and passion, reminiscent of the great jazz of days gone by. There’s a freshness in the way different styles are combined, a mix of hot club with the blues, a touch of folk, flirting with Latin rhythms, lashings of swing and modern elements too.
Lead vocalist and violinist Kathy Bluff delivers her distinctive style of soulful vocals and swinging jazz violin, intertwining with the glittering soprano and tenor sax of Paul Burjan who’s also a dab hand on the flute. Well known jazz guitarist, John Blenkhorn provides the rhythmic pulse and solos played with musicality and panache. That essential Parisian ambience comes with the piano accordion of the ever engaging Garry Steel.
Merv Sequiera on double bass delivers intricate and memorable solos and along with drummer Mike Quigley lays down the best of grooves, playing sweet and in the pocket.
