FREDDIE GRIGSON QUARTET

Mon 22 Mar 2010 @ 8:00pm

Admission Members $10 Student members $5 Non-members $15

One of Australia’s finest guitarists, Freddie Grigson, will be performing with a trio of young titans - drummer, Sean Phillips, bassist, Karl Florisson, and on piano, Tal Cohen. Freddie has worked with numerous jazz luminaries throughout the years and is currently lecturing at the Jazz Department @ WAAPA. His seminal CD, Blue Zone that was recorded a few years ago, still packs a punch, as do his live performances.

Freddie's extensive influences range from jazz greats such as Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins & Jim Hall to contemporary masters like Pat Martino, John Scofield and John Abercombie. He is an excellent example of the consummate musician – ‘taste, chops and imagination.’

BACKLASH QUINTET - heads to the studio

THE VERY HIP quintet, Backlash, recently realigned its lineup prior to a very successful JAZZWA tour of the Geraldton region early this year - Daniel Hart (sax), Glyn MacDonald (pianist), Phil Waldron (bass), Peter Evans (drums) and Benn Hodgkin on trumpet.

This performance is a unique opportunity for PJS audiences to hear first hand, the repertoire Backlash will be taking into the studio in April and will feature new and existing original repertoire by several band members.

Backlash has highly talented individuals in its group whose tastes vary from the 1960s Blue-note ‘Soul Jazz’ including Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey as well as Cuban-latin music including Cubanismo, Poncho Sanchez and Chucho Valdes.
Viva Backlash!
