Carl Dewhurst: Guitar
Cameron Undy: Bass
Alex Inman-Hislop: Drums

Carl has been honing his craft as a creative musician for over thirty years and is one Australiaโ€™s most highly regarded jazz and improvising guitarists. He has recorded over twenty albums as leader or collaborator alongside musicians including Simon Barker, Louis Burdett, Kim Dong Won, Susan Gai Dowling, Sandy Evans, Stu Hunter, Bae Il Dong, Riley Lee, Roger Manins, Scott McConnachie, Bernie McGann, Matt McMahon, Lisa Parrott, Mary Rapp, Phil Slater, Scott Tinkler, and Cameron Undy.

This performance showcases a new set of original music, written during the hard Covid-19 lockdowns and inspired by his meanderings along the streets, open spaces, and waterways of the inner west. The trio features lifelong friend and collaborator bassist Cameron Undy and Alex Inman-Hislop on Drums.

โ€œDewhurst is an exceptional guitaristโ€ฆโ€ฆalways playing with commitment, imagination and heart.โ€ Sydney Morning Herald

โ€œIn this age of convergent politics and convergent art it's refreshing to know anarchy still has a champion.โ€ฆhe is such a pure, intuitive improviser.โ€ John Shand SMH

Tom Avgenicos + Lauren Tsamouras 

Tom Avgenicos (trumpet, electronics)
Lauren Tsamouras (piano)
Opening this coming Monday 3rd Feb is the new duo project of pianist Lauren Tsamouras @laurentsamouras and trumpeter Tom Avgenicos @tomavgenicos playing the music of legendary Australian/New Zealand pianist Judy Bailey

Eora-based pianist Lauren Tsamouras and Muloobinba-based trumpeter Tom Avgenicos reimagine the music of legendary Australian/New Zealand jazz pianist and composer Judy Bailey. With Bailey no longer actively performing or teaching, this project aims to preserve and revitalise her legacy through contemporary rearrangements, reinterpretations, and electroacoustic adaptations of her work. A mentor and inspiration to generations of Australian musicians, Baileyโ€™s enduring influence is central to the creative ecosystem of the Australian jazz community, and this project ensures her remarkable contributions continue to thrive.
