Sydney Jazz Trio
Simply Cool  Jazz

I have always enjoyed playing songs from the 'Great American Songbook', as well as the classic repertoire by the jazz greats: Charlie Parker, Mingus, Monk etc.

 

The Sydney Jazz Trio is my favourite 'chamber jazz' combo, ideal for corporate engagements and weddings, as well as intimate concert settings.

 

Australian Music Centre
Scores and sheet music for sale and hire

The AMC is a great website to visit for information on Australian music of many styles. You can borrow or buy scores and parts to a range of my works, as well as a selection of CDs on which I feature.

Good friends, collaborators and gifted musicians, The NOISE have a huge part of my recent musical journey. They recorded my first string quartet Merge/Emerge on their recent album Composed Noise.

Mara Music
Australia's premier world music ensemble
 

The Mara band has been one of the most formative groups in my career. Since I joined in 1997, Mara has taken me on countless European, North American, Asian and national tours. The Mara band has performed thousands of concerts for Musica Viva in Schools.

With a foundation in music of the Balkans, especially Bulgaria, Macedonia as well as Greece and Turkey, we also compose much of our own music. Many albums are available here as well as news of upcoming projects.

Andrew Robson
Long term collaborator, friend and one of Australia's most exciting voices on saxophone

Andrew and I have developed a special rapport as performers over the years in groups such as The Original Otto Orchestra and Mara! Check out his prolific output as composer and leader/coleader.

I am honoured to be commissioned to write a new work to this excellent ensemble, dedicated to performing new original compositions.
