Jeremy Rose & the Earshift Orchestra - Discordia Album Launch
ARIA award-winning saxophonist-composer Jeremy Rose and his Earshift Orchestra launch their third album, Discordia, an enthralling reflection on contemporary life through sophisticated large ensemble composition. Described as “a creative force with which to reckon” (All About Jazz) and “a pivotal figure” (NYC Jazz Record), Rose demonstrates his commitment to tackling complex themes through immersive and at times wild symphonic writing, showcasing his ingenuity and ability to push the boundaries of the traditional big band format.

On The Stoop with The Valentitanic Trio
High energy performances and genre-defying music
ON THE STOOP - From the beating heart of Sydney’s Inner West come On The Stoop.
The 6-piece band are known for their high energy performances and genre-defying music.
Described by festival goers as The Clash meets Frank Zappa, On The Stoop manage to pack their love of all things punk, free-jazz, spaghetti-western, latin and Devo into their sound.
They are subversive, uncompromising, challenging and always satisfyingly riotous.
Formed by a clarinet player who secretly wanted to play punk rock guitar, this group keeps on electrifying dancefloor audiences at every show.
On The Stoop has recently been touring nationally, performing at Woodford Folk Festival, The Cobargo Folk Festival and Majors Creek Festival.
The recent release "Hard Town", a love song to Sydney, premiered on Fbi in Sydney and 2RRR in Melbourne.
THE VALENTITANIC TRIO - This neat trio wot has four people in it because the man can’t tell us how many people equals a trio called The Valentitanic Trio with Josh, Mike, Alia and Tim, and boy howdy do they make some weird music! It’s kind of what they think jazz should be. A music without boundaries like time and pitch.

MISTER OTT - Popping jazz/funk and hypnotic grooves
Acclaimed saxophonist Matthew Ottignon fronts this Sydney outfit merging mesmerising Eastern sounds, tasty horn melodies, tight and popping jazz/funk and hypnotic grooves that drift on the edge of psychedelia.
Mister Ott’s third release “In the Flow” features tripped out dubs by Richie B, Afro-Cuban bata drumming, and styles ranging from future disco, vintage voodoo funk to psychedelic Ethio-jazz. International flavoured jazz tailored for the dance floor.
“The friendliest possible party vibe, making you feel like you’ve returned to a familiar neighbourhood where the whole street loves you.”
