More details here.

The night will be a warm up for the annual OzManouche festival which will be held the 23rd to 25th of  November at the Brisbane Jazz Club.

Gypsy Jazz is based on the music style of Django Reinhardt – contemporary exponents of the style include Stochelo RosenbergBiréli Lagrène, and Angelo Debarre – all worth a listen if you are interested in the style!

Rob Performs at the Homestead

I continue my long standing residency at the Homestead Restaurant Samford, during the month of August, performing Friday nights on the 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st. As a complement to the combined Indian and Italian Buffet, I will be adding some indian style improvisations to my usual mix of grooves, bossa novas, swing tunes and Jazz Ballads. These are really fun to play, based on time signatures that are not so common in Western music, such as ten beats, seven beats, or fifteen beats to the bar. So come along and enjoy the music and the buffet!

Music from 6:30pm.
