Melbourne-based Joe Chindamo is considered a world class jazz pianist, whose individual sound and style has won him many accolades and an international reputation that has seen him perform at such prestigious venues and events as Umbria Jazz Festival, The Tokyo Dome and The Lincoln Centre in New York.

3rd Ear is a trip into borderless realms of sound, groove and feeling. The totally improvised music is a rich tapestry of acoustic and electronic layering. It’s music for the “film of the mind”. 

Audrey Powne is a prolific young musician who has turned her hand to many musical endeavours. Known best as lead singer of Melbourne Alt, RnB outfit “Leisure Centre,” and genre defying electronic duo “Au Dré,” a project with her long time collaborator Keyboardist/Producer James Bowers.

The weekly parties are never the same as the band effortlessly jumps genres, twisting and contorting old world repertoire into something idiosyncratically their own.

London-based pianist/composer Dorian Ford came up playing alongside many musicians who went on to form the backbone of the London jazz renaissance of the 1980s. On his Melbourne debut he will collaborate with Eugene Ball (trumpet), Nick Haywood (bass) and Ronny Ferella (drums).

Andrea Keller's new project featuring Stephen Magnusson (guitar), Mick Meagher (electric bass), Sam Anning (upright bass), James Mclean (drums), and Andrea Keller (piano).
