List of Events
Svoboda/O’Connor/Green (Brisbane/Melbourne) CD launch
The scheduled trio for this concert was Svoboda/O’Connor/Green, which brings together three musicians who turned to jazz esoterica in their formative years in Brisbane: drummer Tim Green, double bassist Helen Svoboda and pianist Joe O’Connor. While O’Connor and Svoboda are now both based in Melbourne, COVID-issues made it impractical for Green to travel from Brisbane for their CD preview launch. Replacing Green will be drummer James McLean, in a first meeting of these three musicians in a trio context.
