The Malvern Town Hall takes on the smoke-filled ambience of a 1960’s Parisian Jazz Bar as some of the biggest names in jazz come together in a spectacular all-star line-up.

The Julien Wilson Quartet pays homage to the classic jazz quartets of the 1950s and 60s, playing music from their triple Bell Award winning album This is Always.

Featuring New York based pianist, Barney McAll in a rare Melbourne appearance, and Sydney bassist Jonathan Zwartz, along with the irrepressible and inspirational Stonnington stalwart Allan Browne, they are joined for this glamorous event by internationally renowned jazz singer, Kristin Berardi in duo with Melbourne's own James Sherlock.
