The perfectly controlled tones of these four musicians were largely responsible for our decision to run Colbourne Ave as a venue every week.  They play once a year.  This event actually covers three years, including the Feb 2009 concert with projections from nature.

 

In 2003 Spike Mason once again curated a huge series of concerts mostly jazz and world music with some amazing vocalists.  It would be six more years before any of us found the energy to organise a series of this standard, running for this long.

ADRIAN PETLEVANY

jazz guitar quartet

It’s been confirmed … The stars are in perfect alignment for the re-union of the ever-wandering musicians. The unheard will be finally given public voice, and one or two of those unseen will appear. The earth had sent Mark Lau. His solid sound will provide the platform upon which the others will launch themselves. Close by him will be the fire of Craig Simon. The heat and light provided by him will warm all. Sean Coffin will be riding the air as it passes through his tenor. Finally, the tides will be brought in by the sounds of Adrian Petlevanny, the leader and caretaker of the harmonic currents.

Adrian Petlevanny: Guitar
Sean Coffin: Tenor Sax
Mark Lau: Bass
Craig Simon: Drums
