James Sherlock Trio: Domestic Arts
by Ian Patterson
Domestic Arts caps a busy 2010 for Melbourne guitarist James Sherlock, following the release, earlier in the year, of the impressive Solo (Pinnacles Music, 2010). That recording highlighted not only Sherlock's notable chops but also his songwriting skills, with more than half the compositions self-penned works of striking originality and nuance. This time out Sherlock leads ...

Sunwrae Ensemble: Live at Thornbury Theatre
by Ian Patterson
Not to be confused with Saturn's most famous jazz son, the Sunwrae Ensemble is the creation of Rae Howell, a multi-instrumentalist who has gained widespread recognition in her native Australia as a composer of highly original music which simmers somewhere between cinematic score, modern classical composition, and chamber jazz of a distinctly progressive variety. Recorded at ...
Reuben Bradley: Resonator
by Nick Tipping
With debut albums, the temptation is often to throw as much as possible into the mix, to demonstrate the many tricks the artist has in his/her bag. On his first release, Resonator, New Zealand drummer Reuben Bradley does, indeed, draw inspiration from far and wide, describing the album himself as “eclectic." But the album ...

Manly in NSW Australia has a very interesting lane way eatery which is also a small intimate bar with seating for just 20 people. The Venue is a real slice of urban bohemia, oozing European ambiance with classic German biers, a boutique wine list and fully imported Schnapps menu to work your way through. When it ...
Kristin Berardi / James Sherlock: If You Were There
by Ian Patterson
The jazz standard repertoire has proven remarkably durable and doesn't seem to be under any immediate threat of being replaced by more recent popular songs. Perhaps they just don't write love songs the way they used to, or it could be simply a question of the weight of jazz tradition holding back a new wave of ...
James Sherlock: Solo
by Ian Patterson
The title of Australian jazz guitarist James Sherlock's Solo is deceptively simple, because these eleven selections reveal a guitarist and arranger of uncommon sensitivity and advanced technique. Sherlock, perhaps aware of the challenge of concentrating on a single instrument, offers up only 35 minutes of music. However, the performance is absolutely captivating, and only whets the ...
Mike Nock Trio: An Accumulation of Subtleties
by John Kelman
As fine as Mike Nock's recent releases have been--Meeting of the Waters (Jazzhead, 2007) and Live (ABC Jazz, 2004)--the New Zealand-born, Australian-based pianist's primary focus has been on larger ensembles. They may have provided Nock a broader textural palette with which to explore his always-compelling writing, but they've lacked the inherent intimacy and unfettered abandon possible ...
