Nick Abbey PHANTOMS Album Launch

by

A fixture of the Perth jazz scene and well known for his contribution to the striking original music of TRISK and Abbey|Foster|Falle, renowned Perth bassist Nick Abbey tonight launches his debut album ‘PHANTOMS’. This highly-anticipated release reunites this National Jazz Awards Finalist and three-time WAM Jazz Song of the Year Winner (and nominee for the upcoming 2019 WAM Song of the Year) with the incredible talents of his long-time collaborators and close friends Chris Foster (piano) and Daniel Susnjar (drums). ‘PHANTOMS’ is the exciting culmination of an intense period of composition, taking advantage of the trio’s unique musical kinship and trademark blend of dynamic rhythmic interplay, lush harmonies, and emotive melodies to forge a stellar and impassioned new album. This will be an incredible night of music and is absolutely not-to-be-missed!

Nick would like extend a heartfelt thanks to the WA Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries ‘Culture and the Arts’ grants program and all of the individuals who contributed through the Pozible crowdfunding campaign for their enormous support, without which this project could not have happened.

Simone Craddock – Birth of Blues

by

WA-born Londoner, Simone Craddock, is known on the British Jazz & Blues scene for her unique song stylings and irrepressible sense of humour. From Ronnie Scotts to the West End, Simone’s dual career in Music and Theatre has taken her across the UK, Europe, Asia and The States for the last twenty years.

Tonight, Simone joins forces with local legends, Adrian Galante (piano & clarinet), Danny Moss Jr (bass) and Bronton Ainsworth (drums), for some whiskey-toting, hip-swaying rabble-rousers from the likes of Nina Simone, Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, Bessie Smith, Ray Charles, BB King, Amy Winehouse and Elvis Costello. From the spirituals of the Deep South, to country, rock n roll, blues-feel standards and saucy originals…no one can resist the rhythmic lure and laughter of the blues!

Parkinson’s Disease currently affects over 8,000 West Australians, with over 20,000 affected by having a family member living with Parkinson’s. The devastating effects of this disease are felt through out many different West Australian communities, and the WA jazz community is no different.

To help combat the disease and aid those afflicted by it, jazz musician and Treasurer for JAZZWA; Pete Jeavons, has assembled a great line-up of WA jazz groups to perform at this special fundraising event on Tuesday December 12th at The Ellington Jazz Club.

With traditional jazz from The Gumnut Stompers, neo-soul from songstress Shameem and acoustic modern jazz from Pete Jeavons own quintet, “Jazz Against Parkinson’s” features local groups from across the jazz spectrum, side by side, to raise money for Parkinson’s WA.

Presale tickets are available online from: http://www.ellingtonjazz.com.au/event/jazz-against-parkinsons/

For anyone who is not able to make it to this event, but would still like to contribute to the fundraising effort, there is an online fundraising campaign for Parkinson’s WA running concurrently through www.mycause.com.au/page/164577 where any donations would be gratefully received.
