‘ALL PRAISE TO JOHN LEWIS AND THE MJQ’ with the
HOBART JAZZ QUARTET

Four of Tasmania’s leading contemporary Jazz musicians team up to pay tribute to The Modern Jazz Quartet; one of the most enduring and versatile Jazz acts of the 20th century. The Hobart Jazz Quartet combines the talents of Kelly Ottaway [vibraphone], Mat Boden [piano], Hamish Houston [bass] - replacing Nick Haywood on this occasion -

and drummer Ted Vining. The HJQ will perform the music of John Lewis and his Modern Jazz Quartet (pictured below), a group which formed in the U.S in 1952 and performed over a 40 year span, playing tunes influenced by classical music, cool Jazz, blues and be-bop.
