ABOUT QUENTIN ANGUS:
Guitarist/composer Quentin Angus released a critically acclaimed album, The State of Things, on March 18th 2022, with record label Outside In Music (Featuring Nate Smith [drums] and Michael Mayo [voice]). The recording reflects Angus’ life experiences, including becoming a father, embarking on a Professorship (at the City University of New York), the challenges and rewards of living and working in NYC, observing the political, social and environmental turmoil of America and beyond, and much more.

The State of Things is a cohesive book of music, utilizing elements of rock, pop and R&B, and Angus has assembled a stellar line up of Australia’s top jazz artists for an exciting CD release tour of Australia. JMI Live is lucky to be Quentin's Brisbane stop for the tour. Purchase tickets for the live gig here.

“A force on the scene in New York. The crisp clarity of his playing on The State of Things, along with the cohesion of the group he has assembled, speaks volumes.” - Nate Chinen (WBGO/New York Times)
