The Yarra Yarra New Orleans Jazz Band With Judy Jacques - "Jazz As You Like It At City Hall" Volume 1 flac album

Vocals – Judy Jacques (tracks: A2,A3,A5,B1,B2,B5).

When she was joined the Yarra Yarra New Orleans Jazz Band in 1959, teenaged Judy Jacques made quite a stir in Melbourne with her ars voice. She had been performing professionally since the age of eleven, and with her sister Yvonne had formed The Two Jays, singing rock-and-roll and country songs for appreciative audiences. On an altogether different note, The Sixties Sessions is rounded out by six live performances with the Yarra Yarras from 1963’s Jazz as You Like It at City Hall, including a rollicking Dixieland take on I’m So Glad Jesus Lifted Me, as well as Kumbayah and Children Go Where I Send You. In the period following the years represented on this CD, Jacques went on to form her own groups The Wild Dog Ensemble, The Judy Jacques Ensemble, and Lighthouse, and has continued to perform into the 21st century.
