FREDDIE GRIGSON QUARTET - Kicks up a Storm!
Mon 10 May 2010 @ 8:00pm
Admission Members $10 Student members $5 Non-members $15
Freddie’s show on ‘Stormy Monday’ (22 March) was cancelled when Perth was inundated with ‘golf-ball’ hail and flooding. But tonight he’s playing, rain, hail or shine!
ONE of Australia’s finest guitarists, Freddie Grigson will be performing with a trio of young Titans this evening: Sean Phillips (drummer), Karl Florisson (bassist) and on piano, Tal Cohen. Freddie has worked with numerous jazz luminaries throughout the years and is currently lecturing at the Jazz Department at 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 and 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.’
