Andrew Butt Trio +

Julian Arguelles will collaborate with Brisbane’s 17 piece Enthusiastic Musicians Orchestra presenting his compositions plus original music from the current crop of exciting local jazz composers. The Enthusiastic Musicians Orchestra creates a dynamic vehicle for Brisbane musicians, composers, and arrangers to create new work. With all the bluster and bombast of a classic big band as well as the subtlety and refinement of a modern jazz orchestra, E.M.O is an artistic big band ensemble driven to swing, and swing hard!  Saxophonist Julian Argüelles has established himself as one of Europe’s very finest jazz musicians. He has recently completed four hugely successful years as part of the world renowned Frankfurt Radio Big Band and as a soloist he regularly performs with internationally celebrated musicians including Tim Berne, Hermeto Pascoal, Steve Swallow, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Dave Liebman, Jim Black, Peter Erskine, Django Bates, John  Taylor, Kenny Wheeler and Carla Bley.
