A Great Night Central Heating and great music kept us warm

On Saturday August 16th. at 6:30 pm Cecelia & Rocky Rochelli, Micky Young, Sean McKenzie and Rory Brown bought a "Mood Swing" to taste Canowindra

It was an eclectic mix of jazz, rock & blues. These versatile players perform in aCeceilia-Rochelli-taste.jpg           diverse number of settings. Ceceilia Rochelli - Vocals -Is playing Peter Allen’s mother, Marion, in the upcoming Orange Theatre Company production of ‘Boy From Oz’. But on this night she was the soulful jazz artist leaving us spellbound. She moved from soft love songs that brought a hush over the venue, to bashing it out with dynamic numbers that demonstrated the enormous versatility of her wonderful voice.

Micky Young has toured and recordedplaying soul, blues andMicky-Young-taste.jpg   jazz on his saxophone with the likes of Lisa Hunt, Rod Jefferys and Ian Moss at venues all over Australia. Brass with class summed up Micky the solos were breathe taking, he made the most of the time honoured tradition where the respectful vocalist shows off the players in the band (I reckon Micky is a bit of a show off too –

but boy does heRocky-Rochelli-taste.jpg   have something to show off!) Sean McKenzie - keyboards -Sean has played & recorded with Don Burrows, “Dragon” & the Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra; Epizo Bangoura & Afro Moses from West Africa; Paul Jackson, Tommy Campbell & Jeff Andrews from U.S.A; Waldo Fabian from Chile; "Lava" & "Yamatake Carnival" project from Japan - just to name a few, he was always there when rhythm was needed but his cameo pieces of jazz piano just blew us all away
