Uptown Jazz Cafe, Fitzroy

Notorious jazz gangster Monique diMattina and her new band The Dopamine pump up the Uptown jam with beats from Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller alongside new works. Monique and her mob bring years of tears as jazz junkies from New York, New Orleans and Newcastle – featuring hardened criminals Jo Stevenson, James Sherlock and Philip Rex.
“Monique’s witty songs are on a par with the Broadway songsmiths of the 1930s ..how refreshing to hear her intelligence bringing popular music and jazz together again” Lucky Oceans Daily Planet “An astonishing player, songwriter and singer” – Music Roots & Style
