Celebrating 15 years of excellence in jazz music, The Ellington Jazz Club stands as a beacon of artistic brilliance in Western Australia and beyond. Since its inception, The Ellington has not only brought top-tier musicians to Perth but has also solidified its place as a cornerstone of the jazz community, offering a home for the high-calibre of local talent, emerging artists, and earning global recognition as the premier destination for jazz enthusiasts.
Throughout its remarkable journey, The Ellington Jazz Club has been immortalized through the lenses of talented photographers who have skillfully captured the club’s essence and its vibrant community. Angelyne Wolfe, Nathan Bullivant, Steven Emmerson, Ewa Ginal-Cumblidge, and Corey James are among the photographers whose work illuminates the unique spirit of The Ellington Jazz Club.
