About the Event
Steve’s current Sydney based band with Matt McMahon (piano/keyboards) and Gordon Rytmeister (drums) and Ben Hauptmann (guitar) has been established for years, primarily playing his original compositions along with a few tunes by others such as Chick Corea and Miles Davis. While Steve’s music sits under the jazz umbrella, his music also draws on elements from Spain, Africa, Latin America and Funk. Virtuoso bassist, prolific composer, and band leader Steve Hunter formed his first band at age 18 in 1978 and has had a band ever since. He has released ten albums of his original music, in addition to playing on and contributing compositions to albums by many other artists and bands. Steve has played with international artists Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Mark Isham, and Bobby Previte and Australian artists Mark Simmond’s Freeboppers, Dale Barlow, Joseph Tawadros Trio, James Muller, Bandaluzia, Tree and The Translators among many others.
