NEW LOCATION : Shop 5, 48 - 52 Lincoln Causeway, Wodonga VIC (note - NOT postal address) JAZZ Albury Wodonga is located in the old Cheese Factory on Gateway Island, Lincoln Causeway and presents national and international artists at the new venue and is working to increase its role in music education in the area. The previous dedicated jazz venue ‘the JAZZ basement’ was located at the rear of Elgin’s Hotel Complex, Wodonga in the old Irene House building. It successfully hosted local, national and international jazz artists there from April 2004 to September 2009. When the opportunity arose for JAZZ Albury Wodonga to move to the new space on Gateway Island, an association developed with LIVID Productions and an agreement made to share the space with them. LIVID will present theatre productions at the venue and also increase their role in education through workshops and master classes. The new JAZZ basement provides a rehearsal space for both non-profit organizations. LIVID Productions have produced highly successful shows in recent times including Godspell, Nunsense, Pinkalicious, award winning Jesus Christ Super Star and Little Shop of Horrors, which they have received 8 award nominations for.. They are currently in rehearsal stage of 'Spamalot' which opens at the end of March 2011
JAZZ
Albury Wodonga has hosted many great national and international performances at
the JAZZ basement, 69 in total at the old Elgin’s venue. These have included
several prominent jazz artists from the United States and Europe as well as many
of Australia’s finest jazz musicians. It has become a ‘must play’ Australian
jazz venue. The first show at the new venue was October 23rd 2009
and featured the Tom Vincent Quartet from Tasmania. As a result of a lot of very
hard work by some dedicated volunteers, the JAZZ basement provides our arts
community with a great performance space and enables both JAZZ Albury
Wodonga and LIVID productions to develop music and performing arts.
JAZZ Albury Wodonga, formerly The Border Jazz Club, is a non profit organization providing high quality national, international and local jazz performances at our own smoke free, dedicated jazz venue in Wodonga, 'the JAZZ basement'. JAZZ Albury Wodonga is run by local musicians and lovers of good music. It comprises a small committee of people who donate their time and are dedicated to providing a broad selection of jazz to our local community.
