BOB SEDERGREEN AND FRIENDS

With David Jones and Evripides Evripidu

Saturday 14th October 2023

Time: 8:00 pm

 

These three exceptional musicians came together to form The David Jones Trio  A trio that continually push the bounds of freely improvised contemporary music. Evri’s skilful use of soundscapes, David’s exploration of not just the drum kit and a plethora of all sorts of objects creating unique rhythms and polyrhythms Bob of course had been on the ground floor of this approach with the famous Brian Brown Quartet.

The trio made a ground-breaking double album called “Intuition “adding spiritual relevance to the music This  get together after a long absence, follows outstanding performances in November 2022 and February and April 2023 when the audience was left spellbound  However due to space considerations the trio have agreed to the limitations of a normal piano trio, with the musical approach of creating music on the spot will be a major feature of the performance with the addition of some standards. Their last appearance at Southside was almost sold out so book early not to miss out for this one.

Don’t miss this unique and special performance.

BOB SEDERGREEN PRESENTS

With special guest Chantal Mitvalsky

Saturday 9th December 2023

Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

 

To say that Chantal Mitvalsky, is a stunning vocalist is an extreme understatement. Melbourne drummer, Sonja as her music teacher at school was first to recognise this. Bob Sedergreen realised this

The instant she joined JAVC sessions as did all jazz musicians who subsequently worked with her in bands like Cannonball.

Chantal relocated to New York City in 2017and quickly became a regular performer in the New York music scene. Chantal has recently returned home and received rave reviews from the audience from the sell-out crowd at The Lido jazz Room in August.

Bob Sedergreen, piano, Ivan Rosa on bass and Sonja Horbelt on drums are a formidable rhythm section having worked together for more than 20 years releasing their longstanding album The First One an eclectic mix of hip jazz, well-chosen standards and even a Beatles tune. They will provide the perfect accompaniment for Chantal’s talented vocals.

Book early not to miss out as this booked out early last time!!!!!!
