The Sunshine Coast Jazz Club's first School Jazz Bursary (a total of $3000) was held on Saturday 23rd November at the Caloundra Power Boat Club. The large audience gave wholehearted support to the five finalists who performed. They had rehearsed and then were backed by the professional group “Inspiration Point”. Each student performed two songs and were judged by experienced musicians and jazz critics.
The final winners were:
JOSH LINNET - Original Composition,
THOMAS VAN BRUGGEN - Cover of a jazz standard,
Finalists:
MAX CLARK (Saxophone)
SHELBY JOHNSON (Vocal]
DYLAN JOHNSON (Vocal) & JOSH LINNET (Vocal) were also award winners.
We thank these talented students for a wonderful afternoon and wish them every success in their musical careers.
