Stonnington Jazz has returned with a stellar 2018 program, with some of Australia’s finest jazz musicians taking over the area across ten huge days.
Program highlights include Mad Jazz 3: Beyond Thunderdome — screening George Miller’s apocalyptic classic at The Astor theatre with a live interpretation from fusion visionaries The Shaolin Afronauts.
Jazz In Colour: Swooping Duck with Zero Crossing sees the Grammy-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote collaborators perform in a mesmerising audio-visual experience. Expect the unexpected when colour becomes the fourth instrument of improvisation in this special offering.
Bjork: Interpreted finds the work of Iceland’s most renowned musical export find new life through the lens of Mama Alto, electronic artist Tom Barton, and singer-songwriter Hannah Cameron — paired with specially created projection art.
Capping it off comes James Morrison opening the Festival Hub, Australian piano virtuoso Dr. Judy Bailey and a collision of dance and jazz in A Glimpse Behind Closed Doors, and more.
