The Prime Time Quintet features some of Melbourne´s finest jazz musicians: 

Paul Williamson - trumpet; Julien Wilson - tenor sax; 

Nick Haywood - double bass; Felix Bloxsom - drums. 

This new group will be recorded live at JazzLab by ABC radio´s Jazztrack. 

Oh! Jazz will also be filming one of our concerts to be released later on their streaming site. 

Paul Williamson has invited me to present a workshop on 4th Feb at Monash University 

Jazz Department. It will be great to work with those talented and enthusiastic students again. 

ABC Jazz have asked me to record some of my compositions in their Melbourne studio 

as part of their Artist In Residence program.  

The last two concerts are both at Butchers Brew in Sydney:  

13th Mar I´ll be joining Carl Dewhurst, Brett Hirst & Hamish Stuart for a bluesy, groovy outing. 

 15th March the finale: Tribute To Jackie Orszaczky featuring Miro Bukovsky - trumpet; 

Danny Junor - sax; Lee Orszaczky - trombone; Brett Hirst - bass & Hamish Stuart - drums. 

Thanks for your support and hopefully we can meet in person at one of the concerts Down Under!
