Delay 45 |  Tuesday 22 Feb

Delay 45 is a unique Australian jazz group led by award-winning trumpeter and composer Tom Avgenicos, featuring close collaborators Roshan Kumarage (piano), Dave Quinn (bass) and Ashley Stoneham (drums).

The result is a fluid exchange between structure and spontaneity, creating an immersive listening experience that traverses various moods, colours and textures.

 

Delay 45's sound is built upon a deep understanding of each other's playing that stretches back as far as high school. Their shared history is evident in the way the players seamlessly respond, building on one another's musical cues and ideas.
