Montsalvat Jazz Series - April 2024

'SCALING THE HILLTOP'
A TRIBUTE TO BRIAN BROWN 

The Brian Brown Quartet of the 1970’s - Brian saxophones/flutes, Bob Sedergreen piano/keys, Barry Buckley acoustic bass and Ted Vining drums, quickly established itself as a significant voice on the Australian contemporary Jazz scene. They performed many times at Montsalvat, as well as all over Australia before breaking up in 1979.

Honouring them this evening will be superb pianist and long time friend Dr Tony Gould as compere.
The players - Mal Sedergreen on saxophone, Bob Sedergreen on piano, Gareth Hill on bass and Ted Vining on drums - will re-live many of Brian and Bob’s compositions.
It may sound a little different to the “old days” but, that’s what Jazz is all about, isn’t it?

2024 heralds the return of Montsalvat’s much anticipated Jazz Series. The concerts will be hosted on the last Sunday of each month, showcasing a varied and exciting line-up of familiar greats and fresh new talent.
