In 1992, the Doubly Gifted Committee held its first 'Jazz Art Happening' exhibition at Waverley Library, Bondi Junction, to showcase the double talents of jazz musicians who are also artists. It was the brainchild of Committee member Harry Stein. The following year, the exhibition was expanded to include the Bell Jazz Lecture, also organised by the Doubly Gifted Committee, in recognition of Graeme Bell's significant contribution to jazz. The Jazz Art Happening and Bell Jazz Lecture have continued as a two-week annual event at Waverley Library since 1993.

Members of the Committee over the years have included Harry Stein, Graeme Bell, Jeannie McInnes, Kate Dunbar, Verdon Morcom, Margaret Stevenson, Ron Lander, Jiri Kripac, and Bob Baird (since 2005)
