Colbourne Ave Re-Improvisation Party

Colbourne Ave started after musician Spike Mason was travelling around
Europe in 1996. He went to some beautiful jazz concerts that were
acoustic, and more like concerts than he was used to in the Sydney jazz
scene. One of these was in the round, and it was so moving and intimate
that he decided to try and recreate the experience in his own scene back
home. After much searching, he found that the church in Glebe he was
working for had perfect acoustics for listening. From 2000 to 2009 the
venue was called "eight oclock sharp", the name of the first ever series
- a season of the play Waiting For Godot with five jazz piano concerts.
There was a very strict 'no talking during the music' rule, and the
promise that the music would start exactly on time - eight oclock sharp!

Over the years, and with help from Andrew, Barney, and the CafeChurch
community, the concert series grew from half a dozen performances a year
- almost always acoustic, often in the round with great musicians and
respectful audiences - until in 2008 they organized their third 'Jazz
Piano Master Series' with sixteen solo pianists over four weeks. It was
so good they decided they had to do it every week!  Over the next couple
of years we managed to organise a consistent series of concerts, and now
we've changed our name to Colbourne Ave
