The Phillip Johnston 7tet will be making rare appearance at Foundry616 in Ultimo on Thursday evening, Dec 10th, 2 sets beginning at 8.30PM. This group was a big hit at the inaugural Berry Jazz Festival and this is the only other Australian appearance this year.

It features an all-star band, featuring: Phillip Johnston: soprano saxophone, Peter Farrar: alto saxophone, Jeremy Rose: tenor saxophone, James Loughnan: baritone saxophone, Alister Spence: piano, Lloyd Swanton: bass, and Dave Goodman: drums.

The music will be drawn from a wide range of Johnston's recent projects - early Ellington, Thelonious Monk, but mostly his original tunes ranging from classics from the Microscopic Septet repertoire to new material that has never been played in Australia before.
