Montsalvat Jazz Series - July 2024

The Nick Haywood Trio is one of Australia's leading small jazz ensembles and has been recognised internationally as an important exponent of collaborative group improvisation.

Nick Haywood, Colin Hopkins and Niko Schäuble first performed together as a trio in 2003, where ABC Classic FM’s Jazztrack recorded their debut performance at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club. There was an instant connection between the players and they have been developing their sound ever since. The group has recorded several albums over this time, the last being with visiting American vocalist, Petra Haden.

The trio play original repertoire and some lesser known tunes by other composers, and never discuss arrangements, tempos or grooves prior to performing, resulting in fresh, exciting collaborative improvising.

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