JAZZ AT THE MAJ: LADIES SING THE BLUES
Ella Fitzgerald. Billie Holiday. Sarah Vaughan. The greatest vocalists of jazz have left indelible marks on the music of the 20th Century and beyond.
Here at WAYJO we believe that our vocalists are up to the challenge of tackling the most beloved songs as performed by the greatest jazz vocalists of history, and they’ll be joined on stage by some of Perth’s leading singers, including Libby Hammer, Sarah Ramsey and Victoria Newton.
We dare you not to hum or sing along as our amazing vocal talents bring swing and soul to the sound of big bands.

JAZZ FOR JUNIORS
PRE-SCHOOL TO PRIMARY JAZZ EDUCATION AND PARTICIPATION
Debuting in 2017, WAYJO’s Jazz for Juniors concerts enraptured young and old audiences alike. We couldn’t keep up with demand, adding new shows throughout the year and selling out each time. So we’re bringing Jazz for Juniors back in 2018!
Designed for children 7 years and under, each school holiday will focus on different aspects of jazz music – with “Meet the Jazz Orchestra” in April, “A Journey Through Jazz” in July, and “Dizzy Disney” in September.
Jazz for Juniors concerts offer child friendly instruments for the kids to try out at the end of each session, plus interactive songs throughout, led by WAYJO’s dynamic band members.
Bring the kids along for some school holiday fun that will open their eyes (and ears) to a whole new world.
