Graeme Bell is an icon of Australian jazz. Interesting interview with him at:

http://www.abc.net.au/talkingheads/txt/s1716975.htm

Mentions circumstances of trip to Prague and something about how Australian jazz sound was perceived as being different.

Also a bit more information about trip and the composition - it was composed by Graeme Bell.

I was talking to Michael McQuaid about this track last night at a gig.
They play it as part of their playlist for the Red Hot Rhythmakers.

Jess F will freak out if they play it at MLX :)

It is the Sweet Lowdowns playing at MLX not the Red Hot Rhythmakers.
However they are doing their regular Manchester Lane gig so you could always tell her to request it there. :D

I have to pimp the Lowdowns a little... and add some Rhythmakers linkage.

They're sweet bands!

Still here. Just lurking. Love reading all the stuff you guys write. My new law clerk job just steals so much of my time. The rest of the time I currently reserve for dj'ing, dancing and teaching dance before writing long and emotional posts about the music I love. But there may come a time...
