Generations In Jazz 2007 Some of the people!


gallery_gif_jameskarynbill.large

A personal eyeview of two very important people to the GIJ weekend. An exhausted James Morrison and a certainly exhausted Karyn Roberts, though that beautiful smile is a constant through thick and thin. James and John are certainly the driving motivational force, however, Karyn is the one (though she's supported by a tremendous group of people) who picks up all the pieces and puts them together throughout the year so those two motivating forces can do what they do! Encourage thousands of young muso's throughout Australia.

This young man with me is Ross Irwin. I love this guy! Really!. We met when I first moved to Australia in 2003. He came up to my place for some of my tacos and chilli, played his music for me and I was a fan forever! Ross is a mainstay at GIJ and well loved by all. He's way ahead of his years as a composer and he plays pretty good too, just ask James. Ross adjudicates Division 3 and this year with over 40 bands, he was gracious enough to share it with me. I'm glad he did, it was a ball. He's a goer and going to around a very long time after many of us are gone.

Bruce Hancock has been a friend and support since before coming to Australia. He's the head of the Jazz Department at the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music. Being at GIJ this year, he played his perennial "bum" off. I love the way he plays and he added so much to the weekend. He has a great attitude about all of it. I can't remember a time since I've known him that I would say something about playing somewhere and he always retorts "do you need a piano player, Billy?". Hey, Bruce, you're a gem!
