Since its inception in 1993 Werribee Jazz Club has presented live jazz music each month to audiences with the love of various jazz genres.
Werribee Jazz Club was created to bring jazz to the western suburbs and facilitate a growing demand from the local community with an inaugural membership of over 70 patrons. Several inaugural members are still active within the club today.
Now 30 years on, the Werribee Jazz Club, which was rebranded from Werribee Jazz & Swing Club over 10 years ago, is still providing appealing entertainment with top bands on stage delivering a wide range af jazz from New Odeans Dixieland to Chicago style, including traditional, mainstream and swing.
The club is a not for profit incorporated organisation for members and visitors to enjoy the ambience of live jazz music for dancing and/or easy listening.
Many of the musicians that have played at the club have a wealth of experience with some bands being together for well over 30 years. Jazz bands such as Syncopators (formerly known as Society Syncopators), Maryborough Traditional Jazz Ensemble, Royal Garden, Hot B Hines, Ruby Page & Joe Ruberto Jazztet, have all established a strong following with their distinctive styles. Each have their repertoires encompassing the works of Basie, Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Ella Fitzgerald, with the tunes of Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer as well as many Australian composers.
For the past 20 years, Werribee Bowls Club located within the Chirnside Park Sporting Complex has been home to the friendly, vibrant and progressive club and visitors are most welcome.
