GLYN MACDONALD TRIO (Sam Anning, bass and Mike Perkins, drums) Immanuel College from Adelaide opened the evening at 6:30

NOT a wayward note goes spare as the Glyn MacDonald Trio journeys through the musical realms of stage, studio, composition and beyond.
Having collectively performed with jazz greats such as James Morrison, Terrell Stafford, Gary Bartz, Harry Connick Jr and Jamie Oehlers, their musical pedigree has gained recognition from peers, industry and audiences alike.
Sam Anning (bass), Michael Perkins (drums) and Glyn MacDonald (piano) are the players. They draw on influences across the musical spectrum, from classical through to Latin. Imbued with a knack for infectious toe tapping swing, their collective works rest comfortably on a bed of groove oriented originality. They have performed internationally - in Canada, Italy and the UK - and also at the York and Brisbane Jazz festivals.
"Glyn serves it up. He isn't into just playing chords and devices but rather describing things with music, describing specific feelings or abstract concepts. He has a vision and his music will take you there if you allow it."
- Barney Mcall (New York pianist, Blue Note recording artist, pianist for Gary Bartz).
"An impressive young pianist who explores the musical possibilities with an enquiring mind and virtuosic skill. Watch this space...!" - Helen Matthews (Jazz programme producer, Perth International Arts Festival).
"MacDonald plays with style and restraint. The three men bounce ideas off each other with practiced ease. MacDonald also impresses as a composer. His melodies refuse to follow predictable routes, and his harmonies twist away from sugariness." - Peter J Casey (Canberra Times jazz reviewer).
"An appealing piano voice and a promising approach. Keep making the good music" - Tord Gustavson (ECM recording artist).
