In November 2011, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially designated April 30 as International Jazz Day in order to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe.

In Tasmania, Ade Ishs is having a special afternoon on Apr 28 to celebrate IJD with an afternoon matinee at the Crowded Lounge in Latrobe.

After spending his early years in Indonesia, he travelled the world for study, work and his music.

A few years ago, Ade and his family fell in love with Tasmania and moved from Melbourne to settle..... and to continue to compose and play jazz.

This is our discussion.

Jazz Spectrum is heard every Sunday morning 9-11am on City Park Radio.

Ade Ishs - International Jazz Day

When a Scotsman emigrates to Australia, the mere mention of whiskey is enough to organise a gig in a Tasmanian distillery.

For Graeme McColgan, it meant having to source/borrow audio equipment. A chance meeting in northwest Tasmania to borrow some gear led to making music with two well known Tasmanian locals - Neil Gray & Bob Connor.. It was the genesis of a debut CD.... Distant Shores.

Graeme has his heart on settling in Tasmania, but for the time being is a FIFO musician catching up with The Stovies every month. 

The Scotsman told his story and played some of the music from the CD during the Long Lunch program on City Park Radio.
