Ms Kitteridge & Bok Choy is new jazz and experimental music series with a theatrical edge. Join us on Wednesday 30 August at The Gladstone, Dulwich Hill for a night with:

WILBUR WHITTA – Piano

Known as Sydney’s premier background jazz organist, Gadigal based musician Wilbur Whitta has quietly been building a name for himself as a pianist and composer of note. Originally from Canberra, Wilbur has performed extensively around Australia, the UK, Europe and Japan. Recently, he has appeared as a member of legendary Australian jazz ouKit “Ten Part Invention” and has performed alongside acclaimed international artists Kit Downes (ECM recording artist) and Will Vinson. He was selected as a finalist in the 2021 National Jazz Awards, and in 2019, while living in London, won the UK-based Dankworth Jazz Composition Award. He currently leads his band “Wildfire”.

ROMY CAEN – harmonium, synthesiser and percussion
JIM DENLEY – flutes

Romy and Jim have been musicking together for many years, mainly with the Splinter Orchestra, but also in small groups. With guitarist Nick Ashwood they have a release on the Caterpillar Label – Between Back and Foreground (2021). ‘Between back and foreground’ sort of sums up their music. They inhabit a foggy, supersaturated atmosphere, which at any moment has the potential to clear and reveal a soundscape of surprise or beauty.
