Arranger, Composers, Musicians

Libby Hammer is one of Perth's premier jazz vocalists.

With a background in musical theatre and circus, along with five years of music study and 16 years of music industry experience, she has developed a solid reputation in Western Australia as an accomplished jazz singer, bandleader and vocal coach.

In 1996, while still studying, Libby and three of her fellow students formed a quartet which they called Hip Mo' Toast (Hip because it's cool, Mo' because you get more for your money and Toast because everybody loves toast!). Over the years Hip Mo' Toast matured and grew in to an outstanding collective of Perth's best jazz musicians, performing in ensembles ranging from a trio to a big band, all led by Libby herself.
Hip Mo' Toast has performed thousands of concerts since 1996, including touring to the eastern states of Australia on two occasions, performing at the Villa Celimontana Jazz Festival in Italy in 2006 and for a royal wedding in Singapore in 2007. Hip Mo’ Toast has made four CD recordings and in 2006 won its sixth consecutive Western Australian Music Industry Association award for Most Popular Original Jazz Act.

As well as having composed original songs for Hip Mo' Toast recordings, in August 2006 Libby completed her first commissioned work ‘The Glade’ for New Music For The Southern Forests. In her own right, Libby has performed with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and alongside such Australian jazz icons as James Morrison and Joe Chindamo. She has worked with international jazz artists such as Josh Hilberman (USA), Christoph Spendel (Germany) and two - time Grammy Winner Gary Bartz (USA).

Libby was a key member of the Perth Jazz Society committee from 1992 until 2006 and in 2005 won the PJS Award for Most Outstanding Individual Contribution To Jazz. In 2007 she won another PJS award - Life Membership for Outstanding Long - Term Contribution to Jazz. She is proud to be Patron of Jazz Fremantle. Libby regularly adjudicates eisteddfods and singing competitions and is sought after for her professional development workshops. She has taught jazz at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, and currently teaches singing at two of Perth's leading private schools.

Composers, Musicians

Bassist/composer Nick Abbey has become an integral fixture of the WA jazz scene since arriving from Melbourne in 2006. A well-known and eminently reliable sideman who has featured with a host of national and international luminaries (including the likes of Veronica Swift, Peter Bernstein, George Garzone, John Scofield, Troy Roberts, Tal Cohen, Paul Grabowsky, and Jamie Oehlers, to name a few), this PhD recipient, 2020 Freedman Jazz Fellowship nominee, 2015 National Jazz Awards semi-finalist, and sessional lecturer at WAAPA and UWA is also a compelling artistic voice in his own right.

Alongside his long-time collaborators Chris Foster and Daniel Susnjar, Nick’s main project is his long-running eponymous trio, an ensemble built on its members’ deep musical and personal connection. This modern take on the piano trio format has forged a trademark blend of lush harmonies, emotive melodies, dynamic rhythmic interplay, and fiery improvisations. The release of his album 'Phantoms' with this group saw Nick receive his fourth WAM Jazz Song of the Year award (2012, 2013, 2014, 2019) and a further nomination in 2020. This ensemble will soon start working towards a new studio release featuring an expanded lineup. Nick, Chris, and Daniel also perform together in two other guises: the Chris Foster Trio – which has recently recorded Chris’s debut album 'In Motion' (releasing 2022) – and TRISK, a collaborative jazz/hip-hop project featuring WA MCs and vocalists such as Optamus, Macshane, Kruger James, and Solomon Pitt (also releasing a 2022 album). Inspired by bassists such as Larry Grenadier, Dave Holland, John Patitucci, Jorge Roeder, and Linda May Han Oh, Nick is also currently working on an audio-visual recording of original music for solo double bass.

Outside of his own projects, Nick regularly features with various other groups in Perth, including Libby Hammer, The Fix, Ryan Daunt, Fiona Lawe Davies, Chris McNulty, Simone Craddock, and Perth Symphony Orchestra, amongst many others.

The Western Australian Jazz Project
Category:
Bands & Ensembles
Perth's premiere large jazz ensemble, performing regularly at the Perth Concert Hall and other venues, with the mission to enrich and expand Western Australian jazz through performance, education, and advocacy.

The Western Australian Jazz Project (WAJP) is an exciting new addition to the music scene in WA, led by Adrian Kelly, Mel Skinner, and Grant Windsor.

Classical music has long held its large ensembles in high regard, acting as custodians of the literature, career pathways for musicians, and as marks of a cultured and vibrant society. Similarly, the Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra, Danish Radio Big Band, WDR Big Band, the Maria Schneider Orchestra, Duke Ellington's Orchestra, and the Count Basie Big Band all hold a special place in the history of jazz and within their communities. These professional bands have a huge impact on the music scenes in which they exist by focusing attention on the music, creating new arrangements and interpretations, and acting as flagships for the jazz scene.

Australia has had very few jazz orchestras of this kind, and scenes are curated and concentrated around universities and conservatories, and youth ensembles. With our motto of "jazz done differently", the WAJP aims to break this mould and bring a fresh perspective to the West Australian arts community in the form of a professional jazz orchestra based at the Perth Concert Hall.

The pillars of our organisation centre around excellence, transformation, and legacy. The WA Jazz Project employs the best-of-the-best jazz musicians in Western Australia with an international standard of performance; we use original musical arrangements by local composers to ensure a unique concert experience at every performance; and work with international calibre solo artists and collaborators. In exploring the possibilities of jazz and improvised music the WAJP seeks to expand audiences and place jazz at the forefront of the arts community. We are also actively engaged with educational programmes, providing opportunities for emerging talent whilst engaging with the rich history of jazz in Australia.
