From Castlemaine’s home of Cool live jazz we bring you five great concerts, from a new tradition of starting the year with The Anticlinal Fold [25 Jan], and return of Jack Pantazis Trio [1 Feb] during the Castlemaine Guitar Weekend, to the world premiere of a new live sound track to accompany Greta Garbo’s last silent film, The Kiss [8 Feb]. Then Gianni Marinucci returns with a band and his sublime trumpet playing to celebrate the music of Louis Armstrong [15 Feb]. Finally recent graduate and rising star Greta Williams [22 Feb] brings her intimate, collage-like lyrics to create songs with evocative specificity + fearless honesty.
