Following hot on the heels of two sell-out concerts so far this year, Music By The Sea has a top hat trick up its sleeve, presenting a night of jazz with Joe Chindamo Trio on Saturday 2 May, at Sandgate Town Hall. Chindamo's magic touch has earned him billing as one of the world's best jazz pianists, a musical polyglot in the tradition of Bernstein and Pervin - where his art transcends jazz - composing concerts along with chamber and film music. There are the gigs as studio pianist for film sound tracks, more than 60 in fact, including Pharlap, the iconic Man from Snowy River II, The Sound of One Hand Clapping and Warlock. The Japanese also love his work, catapulting numerous recordings to Number One on their Modern Jazz charts. And he has kept good company, gracing the stage with the likes of Shirley Bassey,Ricky Lee Jones, Olivia newton John, Dame Kiri Ti Kanawa, US drummer Billy Cobham, James Morrison and Ray Brown. Ad the Mo's, Bell's and an APRA Award to a very large swag of recordings, and you have the ingredients that make Chindamo's art of seduction no small room act. Joe is joined on stage at 7.30pm by double bassist Brendan Clark and drummer Andrew Gander. "Joe Chindamo is closer to the model of the complete musician of Bach's time - composer, performer, improviser than classical music's modern custodians. Chindamo's range of reference is encyclopaedic and his art tender; his virtuosity never hectors, but disarms. It is music of seduction." Anna Goldsworthy Pianist - Author. "Joe Chindamo is the most prodigiously talented jazz pianist of his generation." David James - The Age.bayfm "Throughout, his approach is one of unpretentious elegance, under-scored by superlative technique." Jack Bowers - Cadence Magazine, New York. Tickets: Adult $40 - Concession $35 - Child (4-12) free. Program and booking information: musicbythesea.com.au.
