Doors 6 pm, Band at 7.30 pm

Brazilian Jazz 'n Blues presented by Georgie Aué  

Latin American rhythms, sweet jazz harmonies and a whole lotta groove, get to the Duke of George to hear classic tunes by Brazilian superstar artists such as Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Elis Regina and Djavan!

You might even hear some classic pop songs, turned into sambas and capoerias! Be whisked away to the 60s by a gentle bossa nova and then get grooving in your seat (or on your feet!) to the infectious rhythms of Brazil.

Featuring:
Georgie Aué - vocals/piano

Alex Reid - drums

“Elegant costuming and a beautiful setting wowed the audience, but it was the sterling performance of Georgie Aué which made the night so unforgettable. The band played with ease and you can’t help but admire Georgie Aué’s beautiful voice, complemented by her skills as a pianist.” – 5 stars, What’s On In Adelaide
