21.01.2022 7 days to go until the release of my album River City. I’ve just uploaded my track ‘Eggboi’ to Youtube which can be streamed for free https://youtu.be/xuDjGTbamPA... The track is inspired by the egging of Fraser Anning due to his response to the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Eggboi is a jazz tribute to a not so peaceful protest that led to almost $100,000 being donated to the victims of that attack. https://www.abc.net.au//egg-boy-will-connolly-don/11159370 #illridewithyou #eggboi #eggboy #auspol #endindefinitedetention #saxophone #jazz #australianjazz #jazzaustralia #ausjazz #improvisation Image courtesy of www.instagram.com/sebi.white

17.01.2022 Looking forward to starting 2020 off with this gig at the Brisbane Jazz Club. We're recording the next week to what will be my debut album leading a jazz combo! On top of that it's my first time playing at the BJC. I've also been inspired recently by albums like John Coltrane's "Coltrane's Sound" and Jim Hall and Bill Evan's "Undercurrent", so be sure to expect a few of those tracks in each set. Joining me for the night will be:... Benjamin van Jole - Piano James Visentin - Bass Katie Randall - Drums See more

07.01.2022 I’m totally over the moon to have spent the last week recording my first album at Brisbane’s Alchemix studios in West End.

Looking forward to hopefully releasing this mid-way through the year!

03.01.2022 My new album River City comes out in 10 days and like many musicians I’m using the website Bandcamp to distribute it. One really cool feature from the website is their phone app which allows you to explore their whole catalogue. If you're in the mood for finding something new but never know where to look, try it out. This is what I found after digging through one afternoon.... https://asatrio.bandcamp.com//plays-the-music-of-theloniou https://seanhicke.bandcamp.com/album/sunflower-sutra https://5309jazztrio.bandcamp.com/track/six-days #bandcamp #improvisation #jazz #rivercity #asatrio #seanhicke #5309jazztrio
