“OZ JAZZ ROYALTY” – Sydney Morning Herald
Experience an electrifying night of contemporary jazz led by two of Australia’s most acclaimed saxophonists, Sandy Evans and Andrew Robson,
Evans’ powerful tenor sound and soaring soprano melodies combined with Robson’s great sense of groove and an uncanny instinct for melodic lyricism create a beautiful and engaging musical dialogue. As the Sydney Morning Herald notes, “Evans has been among the country’s preeminent tenor and soprano players for 40 years, while Robson has been a scalding and imaginative alto player for a decade less.”
They’re backed by a powerhouse rhythm section of bassist Brett Hirst and drummer Hamish Stuart, who anchor the group with a rhythmic chemistry that is both solid and daring. “They can cruise like a Cadillac or bellow like a Harley Davidson”, keeping the music deeply grounded no matter how freely it flows.
The quartet moves effortlessly between blazing virtuosic solos, playful exchanges, infectious grooves, and moments of profound stillness.
Masters of their craft, they transform every performance into a thrilling conversation—one that invites listeners into the spontaneity, joy, and deep human connection that defines jazz.
