ALL THAT JAZZ

 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.

We sat in the shade and watched the river traffic and caught up on the last ten years of our lives. One of our City Cat commuter ferries is going under our iconic Storey Bridge.

Soon it was time to walk back to the club, which is situated on the bank of the river at Kangaroo Point. Burke Park is on this side of the river and the CBD on the other.

We pass a huge beautifully shaped tree, so big I couldn't fit it all in the photo.

There is a strange sculpture outside the Jazz Club. It is called, "Flow" by Christopher Trotter. It represents water flowing through pipes, propellers wind in the water, and rivers wind through the land. ??

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.

The Modernaires. Bill is second from left in the trumpet section.

Later in the day the blinds were lifted and we could see the river rolling by. Earlier the sun was shining in the windows.
