Commanding the stage with a heady mix of jazz and blues, Alma Zygier’s mesmerising presence brings to this timeless music a truly authentic yet modern grit.

Her idiosyncratic vocals teeter on the edge of playful and peculiar — a balancing act she has perfected. Alma masterfully portrays both her power and fragility, delivering performances that are enigmatic and provocative.

The Melbourne-born songstress defies expectations, continuing to leave audiences in awe after every performance.

Alma has performed at Hamer Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, Sydney Opera House, The Famous Spiegeltent, Wharf 1 Theatre, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Sydney Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Rockwiz, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, WOMADelaide, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Adelaide Festival, and more.

She also features on the latest Paul Kelly album.

This special concert celebrates the 86th birthday — and ongoing career — of the highly regarded pianist, composer and educator Dr Tony Gould.

Possibly the most formally recognised figure to work in the Australian jazz scene (though he describes his music as “post-jazz”), Gould’s distinguished career includes an Australia Council Fellowship, the Don Banks Fellowship (2009), an Order of Australia, and induction into the 2011 Australian Jazz Award Hall of Fame.

For this occasion, he is joined by Nick Haywood (double bass) and Tony Floyd (drums) for two sets featuring different combinations of special guests. These include Angela Davis (alto saxophone), Eugene Ball (trumpet), and the masterful guitarist Stephen Magnusson, with the possibility of additional guest appearances.
