Now based in Hobart, veteran drummer Ted Vining is an important figure in jazz circles for forming two long-running ensembles: the Ted Vining Trio (1970-2006) and Musiikki Oy (renamed as Blow in 2000). With the passing of bassist Barry Buckley, the Trio became “Impressions”, with younger bassist Gareth Hill joining Bob Sedergreen (piano) and Vining, who have a 40-year association. Impressions has maintained a great deal of the trademark interplay, humour and swing of its predecessor on both standards and some originals.
