Andy Baylor’s Arrow through Time

with

Andy Baylor…..guitar and violin

Stephen Grant… renowned virtuoso of many varied musical  instruments

Leigh Barker…esteemed bassist and composer

Denis Close….percussionist extraordinaire

Sharkey Ramos…drumkit

Versatile Melbourne musician, Andy Baylor continues his musical journey with a special one-off gig at the Uptown Jazz Café. With  the help of some of his learned musical colleagues, Andy will present compositions which reflect his broad musical interests.

Andy has  just completed a Masters degree at RMIT on how we  re-contextualize musical traditions from other times and places into contemporary Australia. As a musician he  works from a position outside  current art politics, faddish avant-gardism and local jazz academicism.

Andy and his band will be delighting in playing music from the heart.

Compositional influences range from  classic 1940’s bop pioneers from the USA such as guitarist Charley Christian, and pianist/composers  Tadd Dameron and Thelonious Monk; the guitar-istic folk styles of the  Brazil; Melbourne wedding bands; pre-war country blues and traditional fiddle music of all kinds.

 Listen to the sounds of the arrow through time….
