The 25th Australian Jazz Convention, 1970, brought 600 musicians and enthusiasts to Dubbo, N.S.W. This annual event startled many of the local inhabitants, especially those who watched the parade of musicians down the main street. Featured artists and groups were the Original Graeme Bell Australian Jazz Band, Allan Stott’s Hottentots, Lachie Thompson’s New Whispering gold Orchestra, Nick Polites and his New Year’s Revllers and the Dubbo Corps Salvation Army Band.
