Caught in the Act! plays an exciting style of Upbeat Latin Jazz with a hint of fusion. Something that you’ll just want to get up and groove along to.
Their repertoire ranges from smooth, funky jazz to fast up-beat Latin tunes with energised rhythm: always making for a fun gig – full of energy!
You can purchase a CD or USB card of Caught In The Act! Released in 2023, ‘Pretty Eyes’ is available now and at most Jazz Notes events.
This band originally formed as a festival band but has been increasingly busy in recent years. During 2020 and 2021, lockdowns got in the way of many gigs, but in the brief gaps between those lockdowns, CITA grabbed opportunities to refine their cool repertoire, make some recordings and they performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, the Phillip Island Jazz Club, Britannia Mall, Croydon Town Square, and as the feature band at Melbourne Music Performers’ monthly event at the Ringwood RSL.
Caught in the Act! will bring you lively and energetic Latin music, modern funky jazz and some favourite jazz standards. All with new and interesting arrangements.

Pippa Wilson, Melbourne’s classy lady of jazz has been entertaining audiences in Melbourne, interstate and overseas for many years.
In the last few years, Pippa has been working with Jazz Notes to great responses:
‘Just love Pippa singing with Jazz Notes! They are just a perfect fit!’ (Jenny)
‘Terrific – great. Loved everything.’ (Bev)
‘I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, the band or the audience!!’ (Pippa)
Pippa Wilson with Jazz Notes has performed at the Frankston Arts Centre, Sunshine Coast Jazz Club, the Victorian Jazz Club, the Inverloch, Castlemaine and Port Fairy Jazz Festivals and many other events.
Our combination gives Pippa a chance to shine, stripping the sound back and allowing our audience to get close and personal to this lovely lady.
There’ll be cool jazz, jazz-inspired pop, Latin and some surprises; of course, Pippa will still belt out some of her crowd-pleasers so there’ll be something to suit everyone’s taste.

Kellybrook Winery
Kellybrook has been producing award winning wines and ciders for over 50 years at their Wonga Park winery – a hidden oasis at the gateway to the Yarra Valley.
Warrandyte Brewing Co. is locally owned by husband-and-wife team David and Bianca. It’s Warrandyte’s beauty and the sense of place that comes with a walk along the banks of the Yarra that spurred the launch of Warrandyte Brewing Co late in 2021.
Our passion for the craft beer world grew whilst we were living abroad in Calgary, Canada. With so many unique breweries in the city there was one commonality we noticed – the sense of community and how these places brought everyone together; from craft beer lovers, locals, out of towners to families and even four legged fury friends. We knew we had to bring these tastes and experiences from Calgary back home and combine them with everything we love about Warrandyte and the surrounding community.
We currently gypsy brew our sessional craft beers at other local Melbourne breweries. Our plan is to find a space in Warrandyte where that sense of community we felt in Calgary could be brought to life at our own venue, serving tasty beer and good food. We’re currently on the hunt for a place to call home for WBco. and we’re looking forward to having you all on this journey with us.
In the meantime, keep enjoying our beers, which you can find in the fridge at your local bottle shop or venue.

Warrandyte Brewing Co. was established in 2021 by wife and husband duo, Bianca & David. Their goal is to provide a space that the community can use to catch up, socialise and drink good beer, all while having a positive impact on the local community.
