I am performing with the Compass Quartet at our upcoming SIMA Debut on Saturday April 21. We will be joined by special guests Bobby Singh and Sarangan Sriranganathan + new music with Jackson Harrison. The gig will feature music from our first two albums, Abrazo Tango and Ode to an Auto-Rickshaw as well as new music by Jeremy Rose.
Well it has been months since I posted a blog entry…slack I know. A lot has happened though including a job change – I am now Director of Bands at Newington College. I’ve also completed the first full draft of my Doctorate thesis and released our second Album with Compass. So all in all, a busy few months.
On other matters, I am going to start posting resources for other musicians and educators and so stay tuned. For other band conductors out there be sure to check out my good friend, Paul Vicker’s, blog http://bandnerdfromoz.blogspot.com.au/
So away we go, exciting times ahead!!

I love this track by Jeremy Rose!
I can’t wait to launch my latest recording with the Compass Saxophone Quartet. We have now sent the mastered cd off to the printers and we are all very proud of this album. It builds on the eclecticism of the first Tango project with fantastic compositions by Jeremy Rose and Sandy Evans and amazing collaborations with two amazing Indian musicians – Bobby Singh (Tabla) and Sarangan Sriranganathan (vocals and sitar).
