A little Jazz with James Morrison in the afternoon


Saturday afternoon hubby & I had a very rare moment of going out without the little darlings
It was for The James Morrison Trio Concert at one of the local schools.


The concert was organised by www.ellawaymusic.com.au as a fundraiser for new musical instruments
for schools in Qld. If you live in Brisbane there are more concerts from tonight over the next week.
So do yourself a favour & go to one , tickets available on the above website. Not only will you enjoy the show but will also be supporting a good cause of promoting music in schools.


He is such a multi talented musician , and if he wasnt he could always be a comedian.
He tells the funniest stories between playing.


Emma Pask part of the trio was discovered by James at the age of 15.
A fantastic jazz singer.
(sorry about the quality of the photos , but no flash photography was allowed)


A must read book  -' James Morrison Blowing my own trumpet'   I bought it for hubby a couple of years ago & read it myself. It is the autobiography of his life so far , it is so funny , the antics he has gotten into from childhood (you wouldnt want your own children doing today) Lets just say I dont think James should go out on the water ............
