Saturdays 7pm – 8pm
Presented by Deborah Evans, and Keith Pettigrew
Living Jazz brings you the jazz musicians who are playing around Sydney, their gigs and their new albums. Keith Pettigrew follows the emerging musicians, fresh off the jazz campuses, and Deborah Evans covers the established jazz musicians, all in a fortnightly routine. Not all the gigs, nor all the musicians, but a dynamic embrace of Sydney’s jazz.
