DON'T STAY HOME THIS THURSDAY : Colbourne Ave

[andrew lorien]

hello everyone.  this Thursday is gonna be one of those days:
At *505 <http://venue505.com/>*, the band who kept me happy through last
winter, the original Australian world music group, *Marsala*
<http://www.marsala.com.au/>.  They're a dance band, a romance band, and
they play songs from the old country no matter where that is for you.
At *The Vanguard <http://www.thevanguard.com.au/>*, three of the people
who i love most in the world, whose playing never fails to bring joy to
my heart, *Jigzag* <http://jigzag.com> - supported by *PJ Wolf*, who
played for us last week and you know how much i love him.
At *Qirkz @ 103 <http://www.myspace.com/qirkz>*, *Mikelangelo* (of the
Black Sea Gentlemen) is up from Melbourne with his new
spoof-surf-western band *the Tin Star*
<http://www.facebook.com/thetinstar?v=app_2405167945#%21/thetinstar?v=wall>
- i'd travel a long way for their crazy-yet-calming musical humour.

that's a lot of great music for one night, so make sure you plan to
leave the house. i won't be at any of those shows of course, because
i'll be at Colbourne Ave <http://colbourneave.com> :

    Climbing Tree

Hewetson.  McMahon.  Slater.  Barker.
need i say more? ok i will...

*Alexander Hewetson*, the original bass player in the highly successful
90's jazz groove outfit *D.I.G*, also played and recorded with funksters
Swoop between 1992 and 1998.  With *Climbing Tree* he brings his
unconstrained grooves and evocative compositions to three of the
defining voices of Sydney's jazz scene, trumpeter *Phil Slater*
<http://www.philslater.com>, pianist *Matt McMahon*
<http://www.myspace.com/httpwwwmyspacecommattmcmahonmusic> and drummer
*Simon Barker* <http://www.kimnara.com.au/>.

Climbing Tree launched their debut album Tree Music with us back in
february 2009 and have been regular visitors ever since.  I love them. 
This music is good.  really really good.  if you're think trumpets are
too loud, or bands without singers aren't interesting, or modern jazz is
boring, come and have your mind changed.

See video of their last couple of gigs on our new website
