The most promising young jazz vocalist I've heard
Vince Jones
Luke moved down from Canberra a couple of years ago, and is now an integral member of half a dozen bands, with two original albums under his own name. He's toured Asia and Europe and blah blah blah you know. What's great is that he is actively exploring the sounds and the culture of Australian jazz, composing and improvising with everyone he can, bringing together themes and styles and (as with so many players of his generation) forging a new local style to take to the global stage. And he's good at it.
They'll be playing tunes from Luke's recent album People and Lightbulbs and a bunch of new material.

Aaron Blakey is a jazz pianist originally from New Zealand.
Before moving to Sydney, Aaron spent three years living in Japan as an active pianist on the Tokyo Jazz Scene. The Aaron Blakey Quartet will be presenting a variety of original tunes that Aaron has composed, based on various experiences from his times in Auckland, Tokyo, New York and Sydney, as well as some cool standards.
Aaron will be joined by Mike Rivett, James Heazlewood Dale and James Waples. Each of these wonderful musicians brings their own voice to the tunes.
Look forward to a fantastic night of music!
