Manly Jazz

The Little Penguins of Manly Wharf

The Little Penguins of Manly Wharf by Felicity Pulman,
photography by David Jenkins.

Manly Jazz just keeps getting bigger and better!

Friday 26 September Monday 6 October 2014
From its humble beginnings 37 years ago, this year's festival
will run for an incredible 11 days and nights including
performances in some of Manly's favourite live music venues
as well as the popular open air stages.
Jazz is at the core of almost all modern music so at Manly Jazz
we aim to celebrate many music styles while still cherishing
the purist forms of jazz from which this festival was born. So
even if jazz isn't your thing, you're bound to find something
that appeals.
We are excited to have Terell Stafford performing this year
direct from the jazz clubs of New York in his only Australian
performances. Along with artists from Japan and New
Caledonia we have a host of local talent ready to get you
grooving.
Check out the Festival Program. See you there!
Caroline Speight - Artistic Director
