The Jazz Kings are capable of conjuring the grit of the blues, the swing attitude of the big band era and the ache of ’60s soul - Frazer Goodman - Jazz Cabaret Variety

The Jazz Kings Concert Review – Stu Robertson 101 fm (Brisbane)
Brisbane Jazz Club Friday 18th Dec 2020
Let’s face it. Music soothes, heals, excites, entertains and inspires. Legendary Jazz Drummer and Bandleader, Art Blakey even said “(it) washes away the dust of everyday life.” I’ll go with that.
That very moment when any artist starts to sing or play, is critical. We all want to be entertained, not just played to. And one more observation, if they look like they’re having fun - I am too.
​
The Jazz Kings performed to a sell-out audience at the Brisbane Jazz Club: they brought their musical goods right through the front door and into our hearts and souls. The key difference is in the delivery. It’s called engagement, the sparkle in their eyes as they share their love of Jazz with everyone in the room.
​
The Jazz Kings' repertoire is wide, impressive and constantly updated. It includes a couple of original pieces, but you can’t quite tell as they are very cleverly cloaked with the fabric of that particular era. What makes their evening different is their cheerful unpredictability. Not every song has each person doing an instrumental. (Which often can be tedious.) Two tunes might even be performed one after another without a formal introduction. Look out for some gentle fun inclusion with the audience – that’s the chance to sing along. It’s an old-fashioned but proven concept that has you laughing – and wondering where the night went.
​
The Team members, in no priority of order are String-masters Gordon Matheson and John Conley on Guitar, Nicole Parker Brown sharing some bouncing Vocals with Peter Uppman – when he isn’t playing Trumpet. Col Atkinson plays a variety of Basses and croons as well. Matt Brown pats down some great conga beats while Richard Goldner holds a fascinatin’ rhythm on Drums.
All-in-all, a thoroughly entertaining night. I’d go again. And again!
