# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Scornful Four- A Hotpot Mix of Original Jazz Creations - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: The Scornful Four is a multi-generational jazz quartet from Meanjin that features repertoire that is entrenched in the history of jazz with a uniquely Australian approach, evoking the incomparable vast landscapes and vistas of our home. This group reveres the bleak counterpoints of the classic Mulligan-Baker Quartet, and the jazz hero-worship continues with nods to the legendary pianoless groups of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane’s fiery 1960s ensembles. But the enigmatic beauty and undeniably Australian rasp of Bernie McGann, the intensity of Mark Simmonds and Scott Tinkler, and the genre-breaking excursions of Sandy Evans are the prevailing elemental sounds that drive The Scornful Four to bring you new explorations of the jazz vernacular. With a book full of COVID-era compositions that had yet to fall on any ears, saxophonist Andrew Garton convened a group of musical friends new and old to tackle the task of creating a setting to enrich what previously only existed in his imagination. Meanjin jazz-royalty Helen Russell on bass (notably of the lauded ‘90s ensemble Good Bait), the wise-beyond-his-years journeyman drummer Aaron Jansz and young firebrand trumpeter Sharon Elaine all openly bring their dedication and ability to engage deeply with any music they perform and it shows in the freedom and nuance presented by The Scornful Four. Personnel: Andrew Garton – Alto Saxophone Sharon Elaine – Trumpet Helen Russell – Bass Aaron Jansz – Drums General Info: Step inside from 6:30 pm. The music begins at 7:30 pm. Venue closes at 11.30pm. Seating is unreserved and claimed by those who arrive first — the early ones always find the best vantage point. Food and small plates will be available throughout the evening, and the bar will be flowing with local and international wines, classic cocktails, fine spirits, and a deep collection of bourbons worthy of New Orleans itself. To find us, follow Mead Lane to its very end. Turn left. Look for the red door. We’re the fourth premises on the right. No number. No sign. No announcements. Just a hidden jazz club… and those who know, know.
