New Orleans-style clarinetist and bandleader Jo Stevenson is a much-loved Melbourne institution, holding down residencies in many hotels around the South Melbourne/Port Melbourne areas. in an age where residencies are few and far between, Stevenson’s Rockets have been belting out joyful interpretations of classical-style jazz at The Emerald Hotel for over 17 years.
Jo has a fun approach to playing jazz music. At this gig, he will reunite with bassist Jon Chidgey who has played with a plethora of famous jazz artists in the Stonington Gardens with Bob and of course, Jo was included amongst the guest artists. Ollie Shute is perhaps one of Melbourne’s happiest drummers. A drummer who knows when to put his foot down and when to ease off the pace. He is particularly joyous about swinging which makes him the perfect choice for Jo’s natural swinging style.
Don’t miss your chance to hear a happy joyous and melodic team.
