Jazz and Blues Vocal Workshop at Out&Loud, Canberra, with Charlie Beale

At the Out&Loud Festival in Canberra last October, I was lucky enough to be asked to run a jazz and blues workshop, to get everyone improvising with their voices, and putting the rhythm in their bodies. I used an old Louis Armstrong tune, called ‘The Bucket’s Got a Hole In It’. The group were so much fun, and incredibly responsive, as you’ll see …

For me, it was also fantastic to revisit my jazz educator skills, and rediscover that I still enjoy the empowerment and joy of that work as much as ever!
