10pm - Bernie McGann Quartet
Bernie McGann (alto saxophone)
Warwick Alder (trumpet)
Brendan Clarke (double bass)
Andrew Dickeson (drums) |
One of the most accomplished modern jazz soloists to emerge from the Australian scene, McGann’s stellar career began in the late 1950s and his performance history and achievements, from first-class
recordings to awards and memorable performances are too many to list. Still active as a performer, composer and recording artist, he has led his acclaimed trio and quartet for decades. The best way to experience McGann’s extraordinary and highly original playing is to be there at a gig. This gig!
