Melbourne’s International Jazz Festival is coming to Wyndham

Wyndham Cultural Centre is going to be buzzing with energy on Monday 23rd of October at 7.30pm when incredible performer Ebo Taylor takes to the stage.

Wyndham City’s Creative City Portfolio holder, Cr Marcel Mahfoud, said: “Come along and enjoy this not to be missed performance right here in Werribee, by Internationally renowned performer, Ebo Taylor as he shares his energetic jazz and funk-tinged magic that has fuelled his prolific, 60-plus-year career.”

“Appearing as part of the Melbourne’s International Jazz Festival, Taylor, grandfather of the genre, will bring his infectious upbeat sound to this year’s festival alongside Australia’s chief Afrobeat purveyors, 17-piece Public Opinion Afro Orchestra.”

“It is a fantastic opportunity to experience an International Jazz performance locally. Make the most of it and enjoy a night out.”
