DESCRIPTION:JAZZ AFTER SUNSET BRINGS TWO EXCEPTIONAL AUSTRALIAN MUSICIANS TO EUDLO \nMusic lovers are in for a memorable evening when Jazz After Sunset brings together the Stefano Rocco Quartet and the Shenzo Gregorio Band at Eudlo Hall on Saturday\, November 14 at 6:30pm. \nFeaturing two of Australia’s most creative and accomplished contemporary musicians\, the evening promises an exciting blend of jazz\, world music\, improvisation\, cinematic soundscapes and virtuosic performance. \nSTEFANO ROCCO QUARTET\nItalian-born\, Sydney-based guitarist and composer Stefano Rocco leads a dynamic quartet whose music blends jazz\, Latin influences and post-bop grooves with a cinematic\, story-driven approach.\nDrawing inspiration from artists such as Pat Metheny\, Rocco’s compositions combine lyrical melodies\, dynamic rhythms and spacious soundscapes\, taking audiences on an emotional journey through shifting moods and landscapes. \nThe quartet — Stefano Rocco (guitar)\, Nick Southcott (piano)\, Winston Weng (double bass) and Nate Griffin (drums) — will perform music from their acclaimed 2025 album Wildlife.\nDescribed by The Australian as “very impressive” with “faultless sound balance”\, Wildlife was also hailed by All About Jazz as “crisp and audacious… a sparkling gem of an album.”\nThe quartet has performed extensively throughout Australia and internationally\, with Rocco’s original compositions forming the heart of their distinctive sound. \nSHENZO GREGORIO BAND\nJoining them is acclaimed violinist\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer and musical director Shenzo Gregorio\, performing with a stellar group of Brisbane musicians. \nClassically trained from the age of three\, Shenzo has forged an extraordinary career crossing the worlds of jazz\, classical\, flamenco\, world music and contemporary performance. He has performed throughout Australia and internationally\, including at New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Montreux Jazz Festival.\nA member of the acclaimed FourPlay String Quartet and former member of two-time ARIA Award-winning world music group Monsieur Camembert\, Shenzo has also worked with Opera Australia\, major festivals and theatre companies. In 2018 he performed as a soloist at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.\nKnown for his adventurous approach to music\, Shenzo has composed and directed for theatre\, opera and large-scale productions\, and created the spectacular Shenzo’s Electric Stunt Orchestra\, a world-first performance featuring musicians suspended in the air and performing while flying around the venue. \nFor Jazz After Sunset\, Shenzo will perform a collection of iconic violin classics\, soundscaping and original compositions\, bringing his distinctive improvisational style to the Eudlo stage. \nAN EVENING OF MUSICAL DISCOVERY\nTogether\, these two acts offer contrasting yet complementary musical experiences — from Stefano Rocco’s cinematic jazz and immersive soundscapes to Shenzo Gregorio’s virtuosic violin\, world influences and fearless improvisation.\nAn intimate evening of exceptional live music\, Jazz After Sunset promises to transport audiences and showcase the extraordinary depth and creativity of Australia’s contemporary jazz scene. \nClick here to purchase tickets.

SUMMARY:Andrew Butt Trio+
DESCRIPTION:It can be difficult to make a name for yourself as a saxophone player in today’s world\, but Brisbane’s award-winning saxophonist Andrew Butt has been making his mark on the world. Described by ABC Jazz as a stalwart of the Australian music scene\, Andrew has performed as a sideman for many of Australia’s leading jazz artists including James Morrison\, Emma Pask\, Tom Burlinson\, Dan Barnett\, Rhonda Burchmore and David Campbell\, but has also performed in his own right all around Australia and overseas\, touring extensively through Indonesia\, New Zealand\, China\, Europe and the USA. \nAndrew’s distinct sound and original compositions have seen his music featured on ABC Jazz Track and his Trio in demand for performances at major venues and festivals across the world including Le Baiser Salé & Sunset-Sunside – Paris\, the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz\, the Brisbane International Jazz Festival\, iF Jazz Café – Budapest\, U Malého Glena Jazz – Prague\, Tanks Arts Centre – Cairns\, Bennetts Lane and the Paris Cat Jazz Club – Melbourne. \nAndrew has drawn a lot of inspiration for his playing style from jazz saxophonist Paul Desmond. Paul Desmond was most well known for his work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and for writing one of the most well-known tunes in jazz – “Take 5”! A long-time collaborator with Dave Brubeck\, when asked about his distinctive light sound\, Desmond commented\, “I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to sound like a dry martini”. \nDrawing from that influence\, Andrew is becoming recognised for his genius as a melodic improviser. His sense of space and time displayed through his compositions\, create a sense of longing and beauty. He has recently released a new album “Peregian”. This 2024 Queensland Music Award-winning album is inspired by themes that come out of everyday experiences\, friendships\, travels\, and love. The title track “Peregian” was inspired by his visit to our own Peregian Beach. Another track “Le Baiser Sale”\, inspired by his performance at the Paris Jazz Club\, won the jazz category at the Queensland Music Awards. \nThe Andrew Butt Trio will be performing tracks from the award-winning album plus some of their favourite jazz standards at “The Jazz Sessions” on Thursday 19th Nov at 6:30pm\, featuring some of Queensland’s finest musicians. \nThe Presynct\, upstairs – 15 Ann St\, Nambour\nDoors open 6:00pm\nShow starts 6:30pm to 9:00pm\nBar and food van on-site \nParking available behind the venue.\nTickets: $18 – $46\nLimited seating so book early to be assured of a seat. \nClick here to purchase tickets. \nIf you’re looking for a unique concert experience\, look no further than The Jazz Sessions at The Presynct.\nThis hidden gem offers intimate shows for listeners in a beautifully curated venue.\nThese are listening concerts where people can come together to enjoy live music in a true jazz club experience. \nWe ask that talking is kept to a quiet whisper as audience members are actively listening to the music.
