8th September 2025 - Delay 45 // Another Green World

Delay 45

Tom Avgenicos - trumpet & electronics
Roshan Kumarage - piano
Dave Quinn - bass
Ashley Stoneham - drums

Delay 45 is an jazz & improvisation quartet led by trumpet/composer Tom Avgenicos, alongside close collaborators Roshan Kumarage (piano), Dave Quinn (bass) and Ashley Stoneham (drums). With a musical relationship that stretches back as far as their high school years, Delay 45 have created a dynamic performance style that flows seamlessly between structure and spontaneity. Drawing from hip-hop, minimalism, modern jazz and contemporary classical music, simple and recurring motifs interspersed with tight-knit interplay and textural dynamism characterise their performance style.

Their sophomore release Flux and their multidisciplinary music-dance work Ghosts Between Streams expands yet refines their individual approach to performance with remarkable agility, musicality and finesse, demonstrating how they are one of the most exciting ensembles to emerge in recent years from Australia’s jazz and improvised music scene. Their latest release Ghosts Between Streams has been shortlisted in bestofjazz.org albums of 2025.

Delay 45 have performed at some of Australia's most iconic concert venues and festivals including Sydney Opera House, Phoenix Central Park, The Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Recital Centre and MONA.
