Wangaratta Jazz & Blues 25th Anniversary on ABC Jazz

ABC Jazz has a packed radio schedule at Wangaratta 2014 with live broadcasts of Jeff 'Tain' Watts, Enrico Rava and the National Jazz Awards.

If you're unable to make it to the Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival this year, you can still catch the headline acts right here on ABC Jazz. We will be broadcasting three performances, direct from the stage to the radio. On Saturday, November 1, we will be airing Enrico Rava's Quintet live from the WPAC Theatre. That broadcast will begin at 11am eastern. Also on November 1 at 10:30pm eastern, you can catch the Jeff "Tain" Watts Quartet, again live from the WPAC Theatre.

As per tradition, Mal Stanley from Jazztrack will be presenting the National Jazz Awards on Sunday, November 2 from 5-7pm eastern on both ABC Jazz and Classic FM. The Sunday broadcast will feature the three guitar finalists for this year's National Jazz Awards.

We will also be recording a number of other acts for later broadcasts on Mal Stanley's Jazztrack.
