Candlelight Is Shining Bright On Jazz Greats And Soul Queens With Sublime Concerts In Melbourne
Listen up jazz cats, it's time to R-E-S-P-E-C-T at upcoming tribute concerts to famed jazz musicians, singers and all-time music greats.
Whatever you may think of jazz, you best believe that the genre has had an impressive and lasting effect on all kinds of music over the past 100 years. From Rock to R&B, Hip-Hop and even Pop, they’ve all been influenced by the improvisation of jazz. It just hits different and is part of the reason why Melbourne’s Candlelight Jazz tribute concerts remain one of the series’ most popular to date.
Take a peep at what’s coming up with Candlelight Jazz in Melbourne here.
Melbourne’s first Candlelight Jazz concerts featured tributes to greats like Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra while we have also seen homages to Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday.
The good times are rolling on with sensational concerts celebrating the High Priestess of soul, Nina Simone, and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Their soulful sounds will fill the air for stirring tributes to their enduring greatness.
With careers that spanned decades, numerous genres, records that sold millions and music that is still covered, remixed and sampled today, they are two of the world’s most acclaimed and influential artists to ever grace the stage. Their tributes will be joined by a performance of Amy Winehouse classics.

Unlike the traditional Candlelight concerts which feature classically-trained musicians wowing audiences with their skilled musical precision, the majority—if not all—of Candlelight Jazz performances feature jazz bands. Very good jazz bands whose members are supremely talented. With hundreds of candles glowing, they recreate the feel of a jazz club so that you can get swept up in the intimate atmosphere of the illuminated evening.
