‘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).
