Last week we bumped into friends who we hadn't seen for 10 years. They invited us to go to the Brisbane Jazz Club with them yesterday afternoon. We arrived early to get a close by parking spot. So we had a short walk along the riverside and found a park bench in the shade. It was quite hot yesterday.
The Brisbane Jazz Club is 50 years old and it is only a small building which often gets flooded. Bill is ready to go in. He is excited because we are going to see a Big Band. Bill used to play the trumpet in a Big Band in Switzerland many years ago.
Bill is standing second from the left.
The Pepperazzi Big Band at Brisbane jazz Club.
Later in the day the blinds were lifted and we could see the river rolling by. Earlier the sun was shining in the windows.
What a great outing. It can be worth making an effort to do such things and great that Bill enjoyed it. Living on the Brisbane River must be great, until it floods.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day, great photos! Take care, enjoy your day. Have a great new week!
When you ended with the words later in the day they open the windows earlier the Sun was shining in the windows that means you stayed a long time and that means Bob would have loved it but I would not have gone inside I would have been outside with my camera taking pictures of that strange sculpture. Bob is really into the big band sound and it makes me want to cry and not in a good way

ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely time with your friends in Brisbane, and a close parking spot, wonderful! I love listening to a live band and how wonderful to see Bill in the photo. I didn’t realize he was such a musician. Great setting for The Pepperazzi Big Band, especially with the blinds rolled up to see the river beyond. Great photos Diane!
I enjoyed this post, thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely old tree there in the park.
ReplyDeleteNice to catch up and I bet you never stopped talking :)
I thought the sculpture was a snake ! How nice to meet people again after such a long time ! Does Bill still play from time to time ?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be together after so many years. I love those types of reunions.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like Big Band music. I adore it.
Wonderful memories for you.

What a nice day out with old friends! Was Bill inspired to take up the trumpet again? Our youngest grandson tried playing the trumpet in middle school band but found her had no wind power to play well and gave it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad our hot weather is now over as it seems I have no tolerance for the heat any longer. I s=do get cold at times in winter but find it easier to warm up than cool down.
It sounds like you had a good day. The only instrument I can 'blow' is a hunting horn!!
ReplyDeleteFor me it brought back wonderful memories of Brisbane. We always said if had ever moved to Australia it would have been to Brisbane, we loved it there.
Have a good day, t'other Diane
What a lovely time to share with friends. Brisbane has a lot to recommend it.
ReplyDeleteIt looked like a fun get together with friends and I also like big band music.
