Errol Buddle. Saxophonist. Born in Adelaide, April 29, 1928. Died Sydney, February 22, aged 89. Buddle continued playing well into his 80s. For his last 15 years, with increasingly limited mobility, he lived in state housing accommodation in The Rocks, then Potts Point on the ninth floor with views of the city, Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Afraid of going into a nursing home, he loved his apartment, and died there peacefully. R.I.P.

Nick Polites Turns 90
Nick Polites, a much loved Melbourne clarinettist turns 90 on the 2nd of July 2017. Born in Melbourne in 1927 Nick started playing alto saxophone at 14 years of age and took up the clarinet at 16. As he wrote recently with the advent of World War 2 “ Because so many older musicians had been called up for military service, I was sought after to join bands well before I had achieved any sort of proficiency “.
Nick commenced his recording career with the Frank Johnson Dixielanders in 1951, since then he played regularly with the Allfrey Street Stompers, the legendary Melbourne New Orleans Jazz Band in the late 1950s – early 1960s and with the Louisiana Shakers for the last thirty years and currently at their Sunday afternoon gig at the Clyde Hotel in Elgin Street Carlton where no doubt there will be much celebration next Sunday.
The Victorian Jazz Club will also celebrate Nick’s remarkable contribution to Australian jazz on Wednesday the 19th of July between 7.30 and 10.00 pm at the East Malvern RSL with Nick and the Louisiana Shakers. In the front line Nick will be joined by Joe Pryke on trumpet, Les Fithall on trombone & vocals, Andy Symes on banjo, Peter Grey on bass and Kevin Bolton on drums – some of Australia’s most experienced musicians who will be joined no doubt by many surprise sit ins.

To all young Jazz Musicians & interested parties
The South Jazz Club inc. in conjunction with the Walkerville RSL is planning to start a Junior Jazz Gig venue.
The aim is to establish a regular venue for young Musicians to play.
The first event is planned for late 2015 / early 2016 with regular Gigs following
Age group - Under 25
Venue - Walkerville RSL Hall
Venue availability - Sundays (excluding the last Sunday in each month)
Time - 12:00 to 5:00 pm
Music Style - Jazz (your chosen style)
Band sizes - Trios to Quintets
No. of Band per event - 5 or 6
Entry Fees - Minimum to cover costs so young audiences can afford to attend
Whilst the Southern Jazz Club promotes Traditional & Mainstream Jazz is not a mandatory style. We do however ask & encourage musicians to include Traditional & Mainstream Jazz music in their future repertoire & that it will be played in the appropriate style.
In this endeavour the SCJ will provide & pay for suitably qualified Musicians to Tutor in these styles.
The ultimate goal is that this will lead to the formation of a "Junior Jazz Club" with regular blows & with Junior Musicians being involved in the running of this Club.
Would each recipient of this information please pass it on to at least 3 or more of their Musician mates. (create a "chain email")
Please contact me to register your interest & or have your say.
