Wangaratta

Had a brief but very rewarding visit to the 2005 Wangaratta Festival of Jazz with the trio and Elana Stone. Our concert at the Town Hall was a full-house (approaching 1000) with the queue right into the street beforehand. The whole festival was beautifully organised. Elana had a very busy time, as well as her appearance with me she appeared with her own band and participated in the National Jazz Awards (a competition for vocalists this year). And she won the competition, winning $6000 plus a recording session for the ABC. It was great to be on stage with my "young" band (well, none of them have turned 25 yet!)
