‘Retro Revival’ is a brand-new quartet led by young tenor saxophonist
Jonathan Cooper (who is a member of the Monash Art Ensemble, recording
on Barney McAll’s Zephyrix album). Formed to celebrate the music of
instrumentalists/composers such as Billy Strayhorn, Wayne Shorter and
Mark Simmonds, this quartet will attempt to stretch the limits of group
interplay with a fresh contemporary take on tunes from some of the
most celebrated composers of the jazz canon (including Australia’s Mark
Simmonds). The group features the highly experienced trumpeter Paul
Williamson, together with two other emerging talents in Harry Morrison
(bass) and Patrick Earl-Danao (drums).
