Peter Walters – Rhumba Mama
The Jazz Sessions
Get ready for a night of irresistible groove and high-calibre musicianship as acclaimed bassist, composer and arranger Peter Walters presents Rhumba Mama — a vibrant Latin jazz celebration brimming with rhythm, soul and improvisational fire.
A central figure in Brisbane’s jazz scene for over two decades, Walters is renowned for his superb accompaniment and stylistic versatility. Classically trained, he quickly established himself as a formidable jazz artist — equally at home in bebop, blues, soul, manouche, rock and contemporary jazz. A deft and expressive soloist, he brings both authority and imagination to every performance.
Walters has performed alongside some of Australia’s most respected jazz artists, including James Morrison, Don Burrows and Vince Jones, as well as international greats such as Sheila Jordan and Johnny Griffin. A former bass tutor at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, he also holds a Master of Music in composition and has written for ABC and SBS documentaries. His production work was recognised with a ‘Best Producer’ award at the QLD Sunny Awards for Wiley Reed’s Straight From The Heart.
For Rhumba Mama, Walters brings together an extraordinary ensemble of creative improvisers for a Latin jazz–themed evening featuring fresh interpretations of songs by Joe Jackson, Steely Dan and Sting, alongside original arrangements and inspired takes on Latin classics. Expect rhythmic heat, inventive solos and the kind of musical interplay that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
