25.01.2022 Every Sunday Music in the Mountains hangs back and records another song or two after the Slack-Off Sundays Live Stream for @Aunty Eds Katoomba ends. Well, myself & James Emerson had fun playing with All Blues after the live stream - enjoy!

20.01.2022 This week, Robbie Mann and Neill Duncan are performing for us - Like what you hear? Send Robbie a tip - PayPal.me/DonateToRobbie Were not quite out of isolati...on yet, so Music in the Mountains & Aunty Eds have got another live stream coming your way this Sunday evening at 6pm. Slack-Off Sundays: We know what youre thinking - youre at home in isolation and missing your usual Sunday Night fix at Aunty Eds (wouldnt you just love a Cheese Louise & chips right now!). Well, youre in luck as Aunty Eds, Music in the Mountains, and some of our favourite musicians are proud to present Slack-Off Sundays in Isolation. Enjoy free live music every Sunday from 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm live-streamed to your own lounge room. Our artists are generously donating their time to entertain you from the living rooms, and we will be posting a link each week where you can make a donation, give a tip, or a contribution directly to the musician. Robbie specialises in a style of early jazz piano known as Stride. Born of ragtime, the term stride was coined for reasons that will be immediately recognisable if you spy the left hand of a well-versed practitioner. Stride, in its purest form, is a rarely heard idiom and Robbie is one of the very few masters of the style in Australia. While many a pianist may be fine purveyors of the accurate leaping left hand, Stride piano is a much more specific adherence to particular rhythms and mannerisms. For a demonstration, one must simply listen to some of the founding masters of the style. The music of James P. Johnson, Willie The Lion Smith, Fats Waller and Donald Lambert would constitute an excellent start. While Robbie often fuses his genuine grasp of stride with many other forms of music, to great expressive effect and artistic exploration, the soul of the music remains unmistakably, Stride Piano. Stride is especially suited to solo performance due to its emphasis on the ability to mimic an entire rhythm section in the left hand. Robbie regularly performs as a solo artist, including a mix of ragtime, stomps and eccentric arrangements of eclectic melodies amongst established jazz standards.
