In their electro-acoustic line up they use their own compositions as a platform for their improvisations. Grooves intermarry with strong melodies and dreamy sounds; risk and intuition are the cornerstone of their music. Initially inspired by 60’s jazz, they will bring you a combination of groove, experiment and jazz!

Casper Tromp is a Dutch industrial designer turned jazz piano player (he plays pop and classical pianos as well).  He's been living in Sydney the last few years, working with his improvising trio, experimental quartet, and playing lots of other formats.  Following from Gary's beautiful accordion tunes last week, Casper is also a big fan of Messiaen.

Barney Wakeford is an endlessly creative improvisor whose understanding and experimentation with form and harmony and the mechanics of playing piano has reached profound depths.
