Jazz / Latin band is one of Sydney’s newest and most exciting
ensembles featuring the vocal talents of Bri Cowlishaw, internationally
acclaimed saxophonist/composer Jason Bruer together with Matt Baker on
piano and extending to feature some of Sydney’s finest musicians
including Phil Stack on bass and Nic Cecire on drums. Saxophonist Jason Bruer‘s career has spanned more than 25 years, harking
back to the early eighties playing around Australia with some of the
biggest bands of that era including The Models, The Dynamic Hepnotics
and The Eurogliders. He was based in London for nearly 20 years playing
as a sideman for Eric Clapton, Sting, BB King, Van Morrison, Stevie
Winwood and Madness to name but a few. Having just finished her Bachelor of Music Degree at the Australian
