Australia’s premier large ensemble for improvising musicians, the Australian Art Orchestra (AAO) has undertaken an extraordinary array of projects since 1994 and features a range of remarkable ensemble members, guest soloists and composers. For Hard Core on the Fly the emphasis is on spontaneous solo and ensemble improvisation, with several senior members of the AAO taking on a mentoring role for the gifted younger musicians.
Music Director, Scott Tinkler, leads an ensemble of musicians with a broad array of talents across an uncharted landscape of sonic possibilities. Hard Core on the Fly debuted in 2012 as part of a month long residency at Bennett’s Lane Jazz Club in Melbourne yet because of it’s improvisational nature every show is different. This event at the Stonnington Jazz Festival will give each player a chance to revisited their ideas from previous gigs and infuse them with their musical experiences of the last six months.
