Jazz BANG 2020

COVID19 has put a stop to f2f jazz in Sydney, but it can't keep a good jazz festival down.

Check out the musicians and dancers we had booked for 2020, pick up an album or dance class, or drop them a cheery note. They'd appreciate it.

If you can, please support the Frankie Manning Foundation.
