The inaugural St Kilda Summer Jazz will be held this coming weekend, from Friday March 4 to Sunday March 6 (www.stkildajazz.com.au/). The AJM is partnering with this new festival, which both celebrates and perpetuates the links of this historic place of pleasure, to the Australian jazz scene.

SKSJ is as a not-for-profit event run by a small team of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about sharing St Kilda’s wonderful jazz story – past and present. To ensure accessibility, most ticket prices are low and some events are free. Check the website for the full program and head to St Kilda this weekend for some hot live jazz by the sea.
