Blueprints & Vignettes, the third album from Sydney based pianist-composer Steve Barry will be released January 19 on Earshift Music/MGM with launch dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington and Auckland.

A product of Barry’s recently completed PhD at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Blueprints & Vignettes reflects his parallel interests in jazz, creative music, 20th century classical music, new music and improvisation. The album dances back and forward between intricate compositions and free improvisation in an exploration of harmonic hues and the spontaneous re-imagination of pre-set structures.

Steve Barry (piano), Jeremy Rose (alto saxophone & bass clarinet) & Dave Goodman (drums)
