Christopher Young
After the success of his 2011 album, Brood Groove (on Move), the Christopher Young Quartet released a new CD, Atmospheros (also on Move) last year. The album received a 4-and–a-half stars review from John Shand in The Sydney Morning Herald. With its ECM sensibility, it was also released in Poland and Germany, where Young has performed over many years. With tunes form that album and more recent material, the emphasis will be on the multi-instrumental woodwind skills of Young, on bass clarinet, clarinet, baritone saxophone, soprano saxophone, flute and shakuhachi. He will again team up with the Hobart-based bassist Nick Haywood, and his other long-time colleague, guitarist Tom Fryer, together with newer member Daniel Brates (drums). Special guests over the concert are tow other long-time associates in Anne Norman (shakuhachi) and Tony ’Tok’ Norris (trumpet).
