The Adelaide Jazz Club is a pop-up collaboration between a group of friends who love to promote jazz. Founded in 2017 by Mark Keough after visiting the Brisbane Jazz Club, we seek to promote, educate and keep alive popular and accessible jazz. One day we hope to have our own venue for the education, development and presentation of all forms of jazz.

Luke Thompson Sings the Chet Baker Songbook - Review
We asked Adelaide Jazz Club board member Clive Jeffries for his take on Saturday night’s gig [3 August]
Another fabulous night out had by all at The Adelaide Jazz Club in the Carclew Ballroom.
Luke Thompson and his ‘All Star’ ensemble sent everyone home smiling after two sets of selected numbers from the extensive Chet Baker songbook.
Luke’s enthusiasm and knowledge of Chet Baker’s musical story unfolded perfectly through his own easy, confident style with a stage presence that only comes from a seasoned performer.
Backed by some of Adelaide’ top jazz contemporaries in their own right – brothers Sam and Ben Riley delivering the flawless rhythm section, Paul Whitney on guitar and special guest David Goodwin on piano and trumpet.
This is a combo that we all want to see again… watch this space!
Well what a weekend! Adelaide Fringe in March 2024
Packed out, sold out, the Adelaide Jazz Club program at Adelaide Fringe 2024 was a tour de force of great music, great times and great collaborations.
Libor Smoldas (Guitar Prague, Czechia), Ingrid James Vocals (Bne), Nic Jeffries Vox & Sax (Adl), Darren Heinrich, Hammond Organ (Syd) and Cameron Reid Percussion (Syd) wowed at the Adelaide Jazz Club Grand Finale and brought to a close a fabulous season of shows over the first Fringe weekend. A luxurious feast of re-imagined Jazz and Pop classics.
Enjoy this video below from Adelaide Jazz Club at the Fringe, with highlights from ELLA & LOUIS featuring Skye and Nic Jeffries.
The music of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong from their classic album 'Ella and Louis' was recorded at Capitol Records in 1956. These songs were brought to life by Skye (The Voice 2012) and Nic Jeffries (The Voice 2016), with Darren Heinrich (Syd) on Keyboards, Shireen Khemlani (Adl) on Bass and Cameron Reid (Syd) on Drums.
All in the stunning atmosphere in one of Adelaide's finest ballrooms at Carclew House atop Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide. This show will transport you to another era when Swing and Soul and Jazz came to rule the dance floors and nightclubs.
