Jazz Behind the Green Door featuring Damon Poppleton

Damon Poppleton is a young alto saxophonist, arranger, composer & bandleader. He is the 2019 James Morrison Scholarship winner selected by Joey DeFrancesco & Rickey Woodard, a member of the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Orchestra, & has played with bands such as John Morrison’s Swing City as well as the Andrew Dickeson Quartet.

His performances showcase many of his brand new original compositions. Ranging from burning swing to grooves in odd times, these tunes were inspired by real personal experiences, reflected in both their title & musical intention.

James Morrison said about Damon: “Occasionally a musician comes along who plays way beyond their years. We then usually say how good they are for their age…but at this age... Damon Poppleton would be called great if he played like that at 50!”

We say this every month, but you really don't want to miss seeing this musician at the start of his career. Donations at the door (we suggest $10), and wine and snacks inside. Jazz in the company of friends. Come along!
