About the event
Toby has been fortunate enough to perform with renowned international and national artists such as Melissa Aldana, Danilo Perez, Jonathan Crayford, Roger Manins, Kevin Field and more. Toby performs regularly throughout Melbourne and has recently recorded his debut album under the mentorship of Julien Wilson, Andrea Keller and Brett Williams.
The album is inspired by Toby’s research into the appeal and paradoxical pleasures of sad music, using conceptual metaphors as a source for creative generation. Additionally, the music of Ben Wendel, Remy Le Bouef, Joe Lovano, and other ECM recording artists heavily inspires the album. Toby (saxophone, FX) will be joined by Melbourne-based Will Ellerton (piano) alongside incredible Auckland-based musicians Tyler Diprose (upright bass) and Finn McNeill (drums). This is an incredible group of musicians that perform regularly throughout their local jazz scenes across Australia and New Zealand.
