Resonance brings together four world-renowned improviser-composers who use their collective voice to shatter against the glass ceiling. Co-leaders Sandy Evans (saxophones) and Andrea Keller (piano) stand among Australia’s most distinguished contemporary jazz musicians. They are joined by special guest and internationally renowned Australian jazz vocalist Michelle Nicolle, and Jenny Barnes, whose vocal practice grows out of her deep study of linguistics in improvisation.

The suite draws on their shared experience of building a creative life while caring for partners, children, aging parents and community. It speaks to the demands placed on women, and to a jazz scene, and a society, still slow to recognise them. Lyrics for the project were commissioned, premiering new works by Michele Morgan, Hazel Smith and Andrea Keller alongside poems by Sara Teasdale and Jeanie Greensfelder.

“While there were moments of propulsion and intensity, the overall mood of the evening was one of intimacy, restraint and – yes – resonance, with all four artists focused on listening, responding and sharing, their spirit of openness resonating with the audience in turn.” – The Age
