And with the rage of a boxer, he deploys all his energy to knock the public off their feet. The musicians that surrounds the petulant Irish jazz man are of the highest standtard and he leads them with style and panache. Ausitn follows the tradition of swing jazz and is influenced by Harry Connick Jr, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and pianists Monty Alexander, Oscar Peterson and Omar Sosa, strong personalities and major players, according to Austin, they all have a great sense of music and showmanship. Over the last 10 years Austin produced 4 albums and a “Live DVD”. The result of his effort lead Austin to play regularly in jazz clubs and festivals nationally and internationally. There is no shortage of ambition with his various formations: trio, quartet, quintet.
