After an exhaustingly fun welcome to Australia with the Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra and Charles Tolliver, I’ve had the pleasure of getting in a couple hits with my old band-mate, Remco Keijzer. We stomped the Jazzgroove gig in Surry Hills last tuesday and pushed the Jazz Dungeon in Newcastle on Thursday. We’re doing one more show this year, at the Sydney Improvised Music Association’s venue The Sound Lounge, tucked in under the Seymour Theatre Centre.
It’s a special time, our first gigs since Keijzer’s Big Move to Oz. Although he still has to travel from Melbourne, there’s a relaxed element there now that wasn’t present before I feel. Also, the multi-talented Tom O’Halloran will be filling Matt McMahon’s giant shoes on the SIMA gig.
For more info on SIMA and our gig there head to the SIMA website, or phone the Seymour Centre Box Office on 02 9351 7940.
