October also features the inaugural AD’s Pick night. What’s that, you ask? Well, we have carefully assembled a group of our favourite musicians and have kindly asked them to collaborate for a special night of music. The group will be presenting compositions from the legendary Sydney saxophonist, Bernie McGann. We’d like to thank all the people involved who have kindly agreed to be involved in this project: Carl Dewhurst, Craig Scott, Alister Spence and James Waples.

Since its inception, the Jazzgroove association has become one of Australia's most important contemporary music organisations. Presenting over 100 bands each year, including the weekly gigs at the Excelsior, our CD launches at the Basement and the JazzNow Festival with Sydney Opera House/SIMA, for which it was an associate artistic director. Jazzgroove has presented hundreds of original groups, including many of Australia's most talented and respected improvising musicians. It is unique in this country as an organisation run by practicing musicians. Jazzgroove is an association that exists to support artists, develop audiences, and provide a solid platform for the 350 plus talented musicians it currently has as its members.
