Ultimo, NSW, AU, 2007

Kick off 2025 with Australia’s premier hard bop/post-bop quintet at Foundry616!

Tenor saxophonist Dale Barlow, fresh from an 8-year stint in S-E Asia, returns to remind us why he’s a true master of his craft. Joining him is alto saxophonist Michael Griffin, whose dynamic style perfectly complements Barlow’s, making them the ideal duo to explore the enduring legacy of hard bop. Together, they’ll bring to life the spirit of legends like Cannonball Adderley, Coltrane, Sonny Stitt, and Gene Ammons.

Lineup:

  • Aaron Blakey – Piano
  • Nick Jansen – Bass
  • Tim Geldens – Drums

Start the year with this powerhouse ensemble!
