After having so much fun and hearing lots of Jazz in Copenhagen, we decided to look up some Jazz clubs here in Brisbane. We started with the aptly named Brisbane Jazz Club and listened to the Brisbane Jazz Orchestra play "From Gershwin to Goodman." This club is located on Kangaroo Point under the Storey Bridge. We took the smaller ferry, the City Cat, to Hobson Landing. These ferries run on the half hour so we got there early enough to walk along the river a bit. The brush turkeys were everywhere and we must have seen a dozen or more. We really enjoyed the jazz club and we sat with some great folks. Paul told me of his bout with Polio before the vaccine was available and he had seen Dr. Ross Taylor back in 1975 before he went to New Guinea for ten years. This is the same Doctor that we visited. The jazz went on for just shy of three hours and we had a blast.
