Experience a night of swinging, authentic American jazz with Mitch Bellert and his dynamic quintet.
Renowned for their curated tribute performances celebrating legendary ensembles such as Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, and the Young Lions movement, this ensemble draws from their full repertoire of hard-bop and post-bop favorites.
They also channel the spirit and artistry of key modern and classic influencers, emulating the energy, swing, and musical sophistication of artists such as Christian McBride (bass), Kenny Garrett (saxophone), Roy Hargrove (trumpet), Joshua Redman (saxophone), Bobby Timmons (piano), Lee Morgan (trumpet), and Wayne Shorter (saxophone).
Led by drummer Mitch Bellert, the quintet brings together some of Brisbane’s top jazz musicians for a powerful, modern take on timeless sounds — honoring the rich tradition of American jazz while delivering fresh energy and swing.
The Band:
Mitch Bellert – Drums
Benjamin Bruni – Trumpet
Joshua Hatcher – Tenor Saxophone
Eden Armstrong – Piano
Elliott Parker – Bass
Join the band for an unforgettable evening of hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz.
General Info:
Step inside from 6:30 pm. The music begins at 7:30 pm. Venue closes at 11.30pm.
Seating is unreserved and claimed by those who arrive first — the early ones always find the best vantage point.
Food and small plates will be available throughout the evening, and the bar will be flowing with local and international wines, classic cocktails, fine spirits, and a deep collection of bourbons worthy of New Orleans itself.
To find us, follow Mead Lane to its very end. Turn left. Look for the red door. We’re the fourth premises on the right.
No number. No sign. No announcements.
Just a hidden jazz club… and those who know, know.
