Ian Date stands tall as one of Australia's foremost guitar virtuosos, his influence resonating deeply within the realms of Australian jazz guitar. With mastery across acoustic and electric guitar, his musical footprint spans continents, gracing stages from Europe to Australia and beyond. Pioneering the introduction of European jazz style, notably Gypsy Jazz, to Australia, Ian's versatility extends beyond performance—he's a singer, songwriter, and composer for film and TV, leaving his mark on over 100 albums. Rooted in early American Jazz, his compositions breathe life into melodies that resonate with audiences, forging connections that transcend genres. 

Master guitarist, Guy Strazz, is renowned for his composition and improvisation explorations. Drawing from jazz, Indian and western classical as well as Afro-Brazilian musics, his work with notable artists such as Dale Barlow, Slava Grygorian, V. Mohan Bhatt, Greg Sheehan, Matt McMahon, Mike Stern, and Sandy Evans is testament to a profound journey of music exploration. Guy is joined by Fiona Lugg (b), Brendan Berlach (sax), and master drummer Toby Hall. "The Indo-jazz interpretation of Miles Davis’s All Blues is stunningly beautiful." John Shand.
