Matt McMahon is an award-winning pianist and composer who leads his great friends Phil Slater (trumpet), Jono Brown (bass), and Simon Barker (drums) in presenting his original music. These musicians have been playing together for thirty years in various combinations and bring their wealth of experience in many musical contexts to the stage as they improvise together.

There will be some new compositions to be premiered, and many of McMahon’s previous compositions, from his catalogue of recorded releases, will launch new explorations.

Matt has performed with a host of artists including Vince Jones, Katie Noonan, Steve Hunter, Dale Barlow, Wynton Marsalis, Greg Osby, Veronica Swift, The Australian Chamber Orchestra, Joseph Tawadros, Gurrumul, Aaron Goldberg, Bob Hurst, Carl Dewhurst, Bernie McGann, etc.

“The general standard of Australian contemporary jazz releases is remarkable, and this is one of the really outstanding ones.” — John Clare, Sydney Morning Herald (Band Of Five Names).

“This ACO collaboration was one of the musical highlights of my life.” — John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald (ACO with Matt McMahon, Phil Slater, Brett Hirst, Jess Ciampa)
