The Pearl Beach Memorial Hall is set to host one of Australia’s leading contemporary jazz ensembles, the Evans Robson Quartet. This dynamic collaboration features renowned saxophonists Sandy Evans and Andrew Robson in a concert full of energy, passion, groove, spontaneity, and imagination. Completing the stellar line-up are the sensational bass player Brett Hirst and brilliant drummer Hamish Stuart.
Evans and Robson have worked together in several projects since the early 1990s including, Ten Part Invention, the Mara Big Band and Robson’s Thomas Tallis Project, but for the first time, the Evans/Robson Quartet sees them join forces to co-lead a small group.
The concert will feature compositions by Evans and Robson that explore a wide range of contemporary jazz, improvised music, and intercultural connections. Evans’ powerful tenor sound and soaring soprano melodies combined with Robson’s great sense of groove and an uncanny instinct for melodic lyricism create a beautiful and engaging musical dialogue. One of Australia’s most accomplished rhythm sections generates a joyous improvised space that can be deep, driving, fun-filled, or tender.
