In its 5th year, the Melbourne Lawyers Big Band returns to the JazzLab for a shady afternoon’s liquored-up historically-informed blowing and beating, bashing and bleating, from the Washingtonians of 1928 through to Jason Marshall from 2019, with stops at Thad Jones, the Count, Mingus, Thelonious and Quincy along the way.

There’s even a bit of Stan Kenton in there somewhere. Add a memorial to the finest actor of his generation – Leslie Nielsen – and you may never see the inside of Statesville Prison again.

Nick Haywood, Colin Hopkins and Niko Schäuble first performed together as a trio in 2003, where ABC Classic FM’s Jazztrack recorded their debut performance at Bennetts Lane Jazz Club. There was an instant connection between the players and they have been developing their sound ever since. The groups has recorded several albums over this time, the last being with visiting American vocalist, Petra Haden.

The trio play original repertoire and some lesser known tunes by other composers, and never discuss arrangements, tempos or grooves prior to performing, resulting in fresh, exciting collaborative improvising.

Don’t miss this all too rare performance of the Nick Haywood Trio.
