ARIA-winning, Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Barney McAll , renowned as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz, Barney’s boundary-pushing music has earned him over 100 album credits and 28 solo releases, alongside collaborations with legends like Dewey Redman, Jimmy Cobb, Billy Harper, and Maceo Parker. He has also served as musical director for Sia and was recently featured in an NPR Tiny Desk Concert with Gary Bartz, his collaborator since the mid-’90s. Celebrating 25 years of his long standing trio, this performance brings together Barney McAll, Jonathan Zwartz (bass), and Hamish Stuart (drums) for an unforgettable evening of cutting-edge jazz.

​"Serendipity” is the debut album of Tiana Young; featuring 11 original jazz compositions, 3 arrangements of jazz standards, and one arrangement / reharmonisation of the Disney Pocahontas’ “Just Around the Riverbend”.

Sydney-based quartet Hinterlandt combine beautiful melodies with intricate compositions. Their delicate instrumentation and mezzo-soprano lead vocals create an intimate atmosphere that blends the feel of a chamber concert with the vibe of an underground jazz club. Their album, ‘Delightful Days,’ is the most accessible to date, with nine original pieces forming a cohesive arch of vocal-driven songs and instrumental interludes. Lyrically, alliterations provide the rhythm for meditative reflections, political contemplations and anything in between.

​Returning to Sydney, Elias Bartholomeo, embarked on his musical journey at the age of 4 under the guidance of his grandfather. Immersed in the sounds of Jerry Reed, The Shadows, Chet Atkins & Tommy Emmanuel, Elias was inspired to emulate their mastery. Despite being self-taught and unable to read music, he honed his craft through ear training and collaboration with fellow musicians. Bartholomeo, although young, has had musical experiences worth a lifetime. At 16 years old, Elias had the opportunity to live out his dream and perform alongside Tommy Emmanuel  - an experience that further fueled their relationship and his passion for music.  YOUTUBE
