Dannielle De Andrea live streamed from The JazzLab on Oh! Jazz

Thursday, 1st Oct @ 7:30pm

---------------------------------------
Dannielle De Andrea’s performance is like a masterclass in blending the nostalgic charm of the Great American Songbook with a contemporary sensibility, delivering an evening that resonates with both seasoned jazz enthusiasts and casual listeners.

Dannielle De Andrea, fondly remembered in Australia as Dannielle Gaha, brings to the stage a voice that carries echoes of the golden age of music while confidently asserting its own modern identity. Her music dances effortlessly between genres—pop, country, soul, bossa nova, and jazz—each style lending its unique hue to a rich and vibrant palette.

De Andrea’s voice is a revelation, exuding the kind of effortless warmth and authenticity that draws listeners in from the first note. Her tone is imbued with a modern edge—a nuanced maturity that speaks of both experience and joy. Whether delivering the breezy rhythms of bossa nova or the soulful inflections of a jazz ballad, her performance strikes a delicate balance between playful lightness and emotional depth.

Rebecca Barnard sings the songs of Joni Mitchell w/ special guest Peter Farnan

Saturday 12th Sept @ 8pm

Rebecca Barnard first heard Joni Mitchell in 1974. The song was CAREY and it changed her life there and then ! She has been a Joni fan ever since . Rebecca has released 6 albums and there is a subtle hint of Joni’s influence in each one. Teaming up with Rebecca is Peter Farnan (Boom Crash Opera ) who also heard Joni at around the same time and his life was changed too. He immediately learned her intricate tuning and unique style of guitar and piano playing.

They have put together their favourite Joni Mitchell songs covering a broad range from each era of this extraordinary artist's career and have been performing the songs of Joni all over Victoria, including the Arts Centre, to great acclaim. After sellout shows over Melbourne and regional Victoria they are delighted to come back to THE JAZZLAB.

THNDO

Saturday 8th August @ 8pm

The Australian music scene is no stranger to Thndo (fka Thando). The widely loved, Zimbabwean-born First Lady of Soul and R&B has commanded massive crowds at festivals including Bluesfest, WOMADelaide, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Groovin the Moo, and Woodford Folk Festival, among many others.

Her sold-out shows at Chapel Off Chapel have stunned audiences into standing ovations, with rave reviews following in their wake. Every performance is a statement — a triumph of powerful lyricism, rich-range vocals, and smooth backing instrumentation — propelling the wheel of live music forward, show by show.

Thndo’s previous releases, Digital Love Letters and Life in Colour, weave stories of strength, openness, and conflict alongside themes of love, empowerment, and sensuality. Her creativity is marked by an unabashed honesty and charm. In 2025, she returns with her album Lessons in Love, exploring a renewed connection to both the stage and the creative process. The album features previously released singles Fall, 4EVA, Along the Way, and Forward, all of which have received strong airplay across Australia.

Any die-hard music fan can resonate with Thndo’s mastery of song structure, as she draws on elements of TLC, Queen, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and more — keeping audiences captivated well beyond the encore.

A must see tomorrow night!

Wednesday, July 22nd @ 7:30pm

The internationally award-winning Obradovic-Tixier Duo makes a tidal-wave splash with their live performances.

“The music,” says Croatian drummer Lada Obradovic, “is a painting of life, a vision of the world, a scream transcending the sounds of the universe.”

Even this preface can’t fully prepare us for the exhilarating journey of this program, in which Obradovic’s rhythmic changes come fast, precise, and surprising — slowing down only to let French pianist David Tixier’s enchanting notes, in turn, wash the stage in vivid and bittersweet color.

This virtuosic pair has what it takes to win over every listener, from newcomers to committed jazz heads, in this unmissable performance.

The Fiona Burnett Band✨

Wednesday, July 15 @ 7.30 PM

The Fiona Burnett Band is an exciting ensemble project featuring virtuosic and lyrical soloists performing contemporary popular music, jazz standards and original works.

Based on Burnett’s album release Imagine on the ABC Jazz label, the band pays tribute to many well-known songs from the canon of popular music through reimagined interpretations of familiar melodies.

Bringing together a dynamic line-up of Fiona Burnett (saxophone), Mina Yu (piano), Christopher Hale (bass) and Rease Cameron (Sydney) (drums), the group delivers a fresh and engaging live experience.

“In concert, the transforming fire of Burnett’s imagination is like lava.”
— DownBeat, USA
FIONA BURNETT — SAXOPHONE

Fiona Burnett has decades of experience bandleading and forging new creative ground as a performer and composer. Her first major performance was at the Sydney Domain at age 14 in a group led by renowned percussionist Greg Sheehan.

At 21, she founded her groundbreaking all-female group Morgana, recognised for its trailblazing contribution to jazz and women in music. Since then, Burnett has led many projects ranging from large ensembles with orchestration and strings to quartets, trios, duos and solo performances.

She has released nine albums, including four on the ABC label, and has been the recipient of numerous arts grants. She has also held a seat on the Music Board of the Australia Council for the Arts, appointed by the Federal Arts Minister.

A passionate advocate for gender equity in jazz, Burnett is also a respected music educator and currently serves as Coordinator of Secondary and VCE Music at Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School.

She holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne, studying the works of J.S. Bach and John Coltrane, and is recognised internationally for her highly energised, virtuosic soloing and soaring, melodic improvisations on the soprano saxophone.
