New compositions by a new band featuring old mates. Compositions and improvisations based on jazz traditions inspired and informed by rhythms from Cuba, West Africa, Korea & “the Americas” as well as great Australian rhythamistas such as Greg Sheehan, Ray Pereira, Scott Tinkler & Carl Dewhurst.
Julien and the other band members (who have collaborated previously in groups including STOCK, Open Thread, Rabid Hawk, 12ToneDiamonds & Los Cabrones) have been cooking up a new brew at home over summer. Come and immerse yourself in the new flavours.
Julien has released close to twenty albums as leader or co-leader and plays regularly with a wide range of groups. Over the last two decades he has toured extensively overseas, spent extended periods living in Zurich & New York, and made long-term contributions to high profile groups including The Australian Art Orchestra & The Black Arm Band. He has been an integral member of a number of critically acclaimed co-operative groups including SNAG, Assumptions & Ishish and is featured on award winning albums by Barney McAll, Stu Hunter, Jonathan Zwartz, Sam Anning, Andrea Keller, Kristin Berardi, Sarah McKenzie and Ben Salter.
In addition to his own projects and the groups listed above, Julien has been featured as a soloist with the Kurt Elling Quartet (USA) & The Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Gavin Bryars (UK) & Aventa Ensemble (Canada) and Paul Grabowsky’s Eye of the Storm Suite for Solo Soprano Sax with Jazz Trio + 30 piece Chamber Orchestra.
