Welcome to the Jabbôq Jazz website. If the site leaves any questions unanswered, or if you require professional advice regarding music at your next event, please feel free to contact Emanuel. If you are interested in hearing the band live but cannot make it to one of the public gigs, let me know and I will try and work something else out. NEWS: Please note that this website will soon be undergoing some significant changes to make the information more easily accessible. There will be several great new features, including some new audio tracks, a new photo gallery, a FAQ page, and many others. Keep visiting and as the changes come up, and give us your feedback through the email on the contact page.

19 November 2008, 7pm for a 7:30 start. Emanuel Schmidt Trio feat. Gerard Masters (piano) and Ashley Turner (bass). Blue in Green: A Rendezvous between our original music and the music of pianist Bill Evans.

Our concerts at beautiful art gallery, 72 Erskine (CBD) have continually sold out, and the fourth and latest was a 15 October performance of Film Music with Paul Cutlan (soprano saxophone and bass clarinet) and Gary Daley (piano and accordion) -thanks to all those who came and saw us. The previous performance on 27 August was perhaps the biggest success so far, with the trio playing almost 2 hours of originals, many of them based on my recent trip overseas, and some of them provoking raucous responses from the audience. So check the gig page for booking details. This concert is always an intimate experience, so don't miss out.

Watch this space for upcoming gigs, and also check out the gigs page here and on our other website.

We will soon add a separate links page. In the meantime, here are some exceptional service providers we wholeheartedly recommend:

HAVING PREVIOUSLY WON THE AWARD IN 2006, JABBOQ JAZZ IS THE OVERALL WINNER OF THE 2008 AUSTRALIAN ACHIEVER AWARD FOR NSW'S MUSIC, ARTS, AND ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES AND SUPPLIES WITH A SCORE OF 99.15%.

In 2003, Jabbôq began entering the Australian Achiever Awards for Excellence in Customer Relations. Each year since, we continued to participate to ensure our standards were maintained at a high level. Here are our results:

Including our 2006 and 2008 overall category wins, we now average 98.80% customer satisfaction over this six-year period.

Do Jabbôq Jazz provide the sort of service that means customer satisfaction outweighs the cost?

This is one of the questions asked of our clients as they provide feedback to assessors at the Australian Achievers Awards. I feel that people are gradually becoming aware of the many and significant benefits in having live music at their functions, as opposed to canned music produced by either a CD player or a DJ. Because of this, they are often no longer comparing the two, other than with respect to expense. I am truly thrilled to be able to say that Jabbôq Jazz has, according to our customers who participated in the Australian Achievers Awards assessment, provided a 97% value for money service over the last five years. That's a lot of gigs with lots of very happy people! Many thanks also to all the fantastic musicians, whose professional and passionate contributions have provided such comprehensive satisfaction to our clients.

The brand new Emanuel Schmidt Groups website has just gone live, so if you are interested in what Emanuel's original music sounds like performed live, or you would like to see his band, go visit this new website at www.emanuelschmidt.com.
