Avram McCagherty Trio
Featuring virtuoso violinist Richard Mooday and virtuoso bassist Scott White!
Avram McCagherty is one of Victoria's most beloved musical treasures. A musician fluent in numerous styles, his journey has spanned folk, Irish traditions, Gypsy jazz under the legendary guitarist Marc Atkinson, and traditional jazz with mentorship from the renowned banjo player and jazz historian Borgy Borgeson.
Avram has forged a unique musical identity, leading ventures like the Capital City Syncopators, Stomp Club, and the Avram McCagherty Trio, while also being an indispensable member of groups such as the Yiddish Columbia State Orchestra and Canus.
In this special presentation, the Avram McCagherty Trio brings their flawless blend of personality, humor, and musicianship for a magical evening of traditional jazz.
Sean Fyfe Trio
Pianist Sean Fyfe is one of the most respected young talents on the UK jazz scene. Based in London, England, Sean’s music is a rich tapestry of virtuosity, elegance, and artistic integrity. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and McGill University, Sean has earned a reputation as one of the most accomplished pianists of his generation.
In this special performance, Fyfe dives into the music of one of his most influential heroes, pianist and composer Cedar Walton. Walton gained fame with Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, and others in the 1950s and '60s, leaving behind a legacy of imaginative, quintessential jazz compositions.
For this occasion, Sean has assembled an all-star trio of long-time collaborators: the exceptional multi-instrumentalist (and on this occasion, drummer) John Lee and renowned bassist Louis Rudner.
