“And I have plans after the war for a terrific Jazz Convention ( the first in history )” – words from a letter written by Ade Monsbourgh A.O. in Oct 1944 while serving in the Air Force. This letter was the start of the idea of an Australian Jazz Convention in 1946 .This tradition continues every year from Boxing Day to New Year’s Eve at locations around Australia. 2019 was held in Albury.We have to thank Ade Monsbourgh for his brilliant idea.#jazz #australianjazz #australianjazzmuseum #australianjazzconvention #anzac #ademonsbourgh #airforce #airforcehouse #history #culture
