Danielle sold out her very recent Syd Fest Performance, to no one's surprise.  She has delayed her return to LA so as to be able to do one more show before she leaves, - aware that many of her fans couldn't get tickets for the Sydney Festival appearance as it sold out so quickly. Don't miss this opportunity to see Danni for her last show before she heads back to the States. Appearing with Dannielle will be the incredible Bill Risby on piano, guitarist Oliver Thorpe, drummer Hamish Stuart and bassist Jonathan Zwartz.  For those that don't know, Danni has performed with John Farnham, Glen Shorrock, Jackson Browne, Ariana Grande, and most recently Joe Bonamassa.

ARIA-winning, Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Barney McAll , renowned as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary jazz, Barney’s boundary-pushing music has earned him over 100 album credits and 28 solo releases, alongside collaborations with legends like Dewey Redman, Jimmy Cobb, Billy Harper, and Maceo Parker. He has also served as musical director for Sia and was recently featured in an NPR Tiny Desk Concert with Gary Bartz, his collaborator since the mid-’90s. Celebrating 25 years of his long standing trio, this performance brings together Barney McAll, Jonathan Zwartz (bass), and Hamish Stuart (drums) for an unforgettable evening of cutting-edge jazz.

Sydney-based quartet Hinterlandt combine beautiful melodies with intricate compositions. Their delicate instrumentation and mezzo-soprano lead vocals create an intimate atmosphere that blends the feel of a chamber concert with the vibe of an underground jazz club. Their album, ‘Delightful Days,’ is the most accessible to date, with nine original pieces forming a cohesive arch of vocal-driven songs and instrumental interludes. Lyrically, alliterations provide the rhythm for meditative reflections, political contemplations and anything in between.

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.

Coupled with the lush vocal harmonies and soaring violin.. Being 10 metres away from Lieberman’s sung stories was an honour, her lyrics and compositions are outstanding. Sung with a quality not often heard.." - Canberra City News.  YOUTUBE CLIP HERE
