Jazzgroove Christmas Party
The Jazzgroove Association has been supporting local artists for over fifteen years, so we’re throwing a party, and asking for a little bit of your support. Come celebrate Christmas, Jazzgroove-Style, with three sensational bands including an All-Star Jazz Orchestra formed just for the occasion. Hedge a few dollars on the JG Mega-raffle! Test your knowledge with everyone’s favourite wine-oriented trivia game, Jazzgoon! Delve into Jazzgroove Record’s back catalogue at the CD stall! Get your photo taken with Santa!
All proceeds of the night go to Jazzgroove to help it continue doing great work for the independent artists of Sydney.
