After rescheduling due to Cyclone Alfred earlier this year, the Gerringong Music Club is bringing jazz quartet Estampa back this month.

This might be the event to broaden your musical palate.

Gerringong Music Club’s Imogen Stewart has nothing but praise for the group.

“Everyone loved Estampa so much that we decided to bring them back again.They bring a vibrant, colourful delightful program,” Stewart said.

The group is made up of Rebecca Karlen on violin and vocals, Paul Henderson on guitar and banjo, John Reeves on accordion and Samuel Vincent on double bass.

Rebecca Karlen told The Bugle that with a strong flavour of French and Brazilian jazz, the group leans on various influences that hold significance to the individuals.

And then they put their own stamp on it to rearrange the music to suit.

“We are such an eclectic group of musicians, but we all bring in our own passions,” Karlen said.

“I absolutely love the group because we play such diverse music, we all have very different musical backgrounds.

“Because we have played together for so long, and we genuinely love playing together, it is such a privilege working with these musicians, because they are so incredibly invested in everything they do.

“The joy that we feel when we play together - I think that’s the best feedback you can have as a musician, when it makes people feel something.”

Stewart explained what makes Estampa so good: “Rebecca’s vocals are just so beautiful with the violin, piano, accordion, banjo, bass, and guitar.

“It’s just a beautiful mix of instruments and their repertoire is phenomenal.”

Another component that Estampa incorporates into their shows is improvisation, with Karlen explaining “because we play such diverse repertoire, we don’t improvise certain pieces of music, like Vivaldi, but in most of our music, we will incorporate improvisation in some way”.

Reflecting on her recent visit to Gerringong, you could sense the nostalgia from Karlen.

“I have wonderful memories of Gerringong, it is such beautiful town, really lovely, warm audience, so it was very memorable,” Karlen said.

With tickets available at the door, you don’t need to be a member of the Gerringong Music Club to attend.

The event will be held 29 June at Gerringong Town Hall from 2pm-3:30pm.
