Jazzgroove Presents: Darrin Archer Trio (Melb) + The Coffin Brothers – Sydney, NSW – 16/03/10

16th March

10pm- Darrin Archer Trio (Melb)

Darrin has recently been working on some specific harmonic and improvisational concepts that relate directly to, and evolve with, his original compositions. He aims to use his Trio as a vehicle to express these ideas, and create a musical canvas rich in texture and colour. Darrin was a semi-finalist in The National Jazz Awards (Piano) in 2006. In 2008 he attended a 3 week workshop at Banff Centre, Canada (under the direction of Dave Douglas), and had a lesson with Marc Copland in New York. He currently resides in Melbourne.
