Jazz:NOW Ep.2 - Standing Room:

Amidst the culturally fertile warehouses and alleyways of Marrickville SIMA proudly presents our second Jazz:NOW show of the program in collaboration with CG Discs; focusing on the spirit of the dance floor andfeaturing the new-wave of Sydney improvisers in Manfredo Lament, Cracked Suzies + LEVOS and Mimi J on DJ duties.

“This second Jazz:NOW show - a collaboration with CG Discs - is something I’ve been excited about for a long time. CG Discs have been at the forefront of some of Sydney’s most thrilling and best-kept musical secrets. They understand that there is a deep relationship between jazz music and the dance floor, and it is a relationship that too often goes unrecognised. At this Jazz:NOW show, SIMA and CG Discs look to spotlight that connection. Here, we embrace the new-wave of improvisers - including Manfredo Lament and Cracked Suzies - who have been making all the right noises in Sydney’s underground warehouse scene and building a community that is helping to define our new cultural voice. It’s standing room only - see you in the inimitable NOW!” - Novak Manojlovic
