The James Emerson Trio explore a wide range of repertoire spanning from jazz through to funk, blues and groove music.
Masterfully improvised solos from James Emerson are supported by a strong rhythm section with tight, syncopated bass grooves from Geoff Rosenberg and Osama Moustafa holding it all together behind the kit. This groove trio will take you on a captivating journey as they seamlessly weave through a range of musical genres and soundscapes throughout their sets.
James Emerson has been an active performer in the local music scene for over a decade and has studied under some of Australia's most prolific guitarists including Mark Johns and Jeremy Sawkins. His sound is a rich blend of musical styles showcasing swinging walking bass lines, chordal improvisations and soulful melodies.
Veteran bassist Geoff Rosenberg has toured and recorded with Blackfeather, Stockley See and Mason, The Eurogliders, The Flaming Hands, James Blundell, Nathan Cavalieri, Baby Loves to Cha Cha, the Mighty Reapers, Continental Robert, Rick Melick, Lisa Ohlback, George Washingmachine and The Acca Daiquiris just to name a few. He currently performs around Sydney in his own trio ‘The Burglars’ with vocalist Nick Norton, the current frontman for iconic Aussie band The Angels’.
Osama Moustafa is a solid, versatile drummer who sets the scene and holds a groove for any style of music. He started life as a successful rock drummer before tackling the jazz course at AIM. Since then, he has been performing and recording for singer/songwriters while keeping busy in the Jazz and funk field. His last band was Emergency Powers, a six piece funk with some of the best musicians in the country.
