Popular Music from the 1900's to the 1940's inclusive.

Singers such as Harry Conick Jr, Grace Knight, Vince Jones and Diana Kral

have reintroduced the great music of this era with as much energy

as performers of popular music.

KAYE PAYNE, the most talked about Jazz/Blues singer in Tasmania today, is no overnight wonder. It all started with singalongs at home and a television show at the age of nine. From there Kaye dabbled in just about all the popular music styles, appearing in Brisbane and Sydney floorshows and with various rock and country bands then eventually following her passion, Jazz.

While on the cabaret scene Kaye toured with people like Chubby Checker, Des O'Conner, The Ink Spots and the Shadows.

 Kaye's influences are great’s like Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Bette Midler. Kaye features the music from before the 1950's. She excels at ballads and has been classed as a "torch singer" by the Tasmanian media.

In 1999 Kaye Payne and A Touch of Class was the featured artist on Jim McLeod’s Jazztracks, live from Hobart.

Kaye’s CD “Black Coffee" is available though all major CD outlets;

just ask for it by name.

Also available “Kaye Payne’s eKlectiKa”- “It’s Jazz”.
