Canberra Jazz Club

‘Jazz at Jamison’ on Sunday 7 December 2025 will feature Canberra’s fabulous local traditional Dixieland jazz band, the Zackerbilks.

This highly professional eight-piece band of local musicians, led by popular vocalist and banjo player Miriam Miley-Reid, has a huge following in Canberra. The fun and lively band plays to rave reviews and has earned its reputation as Canberra’s leading jazz band, known for its high energy and entertaining style.

Enjoy 3 hours of toe-tapping hot traditional jazz tunes from the turn of the century through to some of today’s popular tunes reworked to sound like a Dixieland cover.

The ‘Bilks with their irrepressible charm and their often-changing line-up of talented local musicians never ceases to entertain and delight the crowd.

You don’t want to miss a performance from the Zackerbilks! Music from 1pm in the lounge.

Dear CJC members

Please find your latest newsletter attached.

In this issue, of note:-

• We announce that the AGM saw a new President elected, Andrew Gleeson, and Evelyn Foster re-joined the Committee as Vice-President. We thank retiring President John Madden.
• Membership renewals are now overdue.
• VALE long-term life member Phil O’Rourke.
• The member’s Christmas Party luncheon is not far off and bookings are now open. As expected, the CSCC has advised of increasing catering costs which means an increase to the price of their Christmas seniors’ menu. Although we continue to subsidise the cost to members, we must, unfortunately, raise the price this year.

Yours in Jazz,

Linda Wiese

CJC Secretary/Editor
