Book Launch: Jenny Sheldon’s “I Will” – Sunday March 16th

Join us for a heartwarming jazz and fundraising event in support of the Stroke Foundation.

The event will feature:

  • Live jazz performances
  • Book launch and Q&A with the author, Jenny Sheldon
  • A silent auction
  • And the opportunity to support an incredible mission

Convened by Canberra Jazz Club member Jenny Sheldon, this event will bring together Canberra’s jazz enthusiasts, members of the stroke community, and supporters of a vital cause: raising awareness and funds for stroke prevention and recovery.

The highlight of the afternoon will be the launch of Jenny’s powerful memoir, I Will: A Memoir of Stroke, Renewal, and the Power of Song. Jenny’s story of resilience and renewal is sure to inspire all in attendance.

All profits from ticket sales and the proceeds of the silent auction will directly benefit the Stroke Foundation, helping to make a difference in the lives of stroke survivors and their families.

Come for the music, stay for the inspiration, and leave knowing you’ve contributed to an important cause.

Latest Newsletter

Please find attached our first newsletter for 2025. I hope you enjoy the read. The CJC’s 55thanniversary occurs one day before our March gig with the Bridge City & Black Mountain Jazz Band and I’ve set out a bit of a potted history of the CJC. Also, Vice-President Andrew has kindly written a piece on the annual Australian Jazz Convention.

As always, we have some top jazz lined up in the coming months and I’m working to fill some of the gaps we have for later in the year.

Next up in February is the hugely popular Justin Buckingham’s ‘Rhythm Capital’ swing band and we are expecting a good crowd of dancers to take to the floor.

Member attendances at Jamison are steady and we seem to have enough reserved seating to cater for everyone so don’t hesitate to come along for what is a great Sunday afternoon out with fellow jazz lovers.

Yours in jazz
