Young@HEART – James Paxton
Monday, June 9 @ 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
About James Paxton
James loves attending Young@HEART on Monday mornings and thought he should put his hand up, having been in and out of bands since 1974 with influences from jazz standards to 70’s.
The last 8 years he has deep-dived into the world of Django Reinhardt – an extraordinary Belgian gypsy guitarist recognised as one of the best jazz guitarists of his genre. James will be giving a brief history of Django Reinhardt’s life, his challenges, his influences and performing some of Reinhardt’s songs.
James will be accompanied by Viv Booker (double bass), Paul Barlow and Tarna Osborne (vocals) and Chloe Keller (violin).
About Young@HEART
The Young@HEART music program is held at Margaret River HEART every Monday morning from 10am to 11am. The program does not run on public holidays or when there is another major event in the foyer.
The initiative was developed to safely encourage participation in the arts among older residents (over 60s) during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to high interest, the free performances have since been opened to people of all ages. Nonetheless, the senior demographic still makes up the majority of the audience.
Young@Heart is broadcast live on Radio Margaret River
