Three brand new musicians for your listening pleasure:

Matt Boden was one of the ten finalists in the Wangaratta jazz competition this year.  We tried to get him for the solo piano month, but he couldn't get to sydney.  You might know him from the New Sheiks (their album won a Bell award), but you might not know him because he's lived for most of the last decade in Berlin and Paris.

bassist Leigh Barker is the band leader of The New Sheiks.  i know he's from melbourne and everything but it's really surprising he's never played here.

French drummer Lionel Bocarra has worked with Matt for many years, and will be in Australia after his Japan tour.
