Hammerhead is a powerhouse jazz sextet led by internationally acclaimed tenor saxophonist Jason Bruer, and has been a prominent force in the Australian jazz scene since 2011. Drawing inspiration from the hard bop era while incorporating urban jazz, funk, and chamber jazz influences, the band has established a reputation for high-energy performances and innovative compositions. Their debut album, Mozaic (2014), paid tribute to hard bop pioneers and received acclaim in Australia and Japan. With Turning Point (2019), they transitioned to an all-original repertoire, further solidifying their unique artistic identity. Their latest release, I Didn’t Get To Where I Am Today (2023), written during the pandemic, was hailed as their best album yet, receiving a 4.5-star review in The Australian and praise from jazz legend Mike Nock. Hammerhead has performed at major jazz festivals, including Wangaratta Jazz & Blues, Sydney Conservatorium International Jazz Festival, Manly Jazz Festival, Thredbo Jazz Festival, Capital Jazz Festival, and Inner West Marrickville Festival. They have headlined the ‘Jazz Up North’ series at Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns and performed extensively across Australia. Maintaining a monthly residency at Lazybones Lounge in Sydney for nearly a decade, Hammerhead continues to push creative boundaries.
Band Line Up: Jason Bruer - tenor & soprano sax, Andrew Robertson - alto sax & flute, Simon Ferenci - trumpet & flugelhorn, Gavin Ahearn - piano, Dave Quinn - double bass, Elliot Carter - drums.
