Event Details
Spiritual without religion, music gives expression to emotion by capturing feelings that are difficult to put into words. Through music we can sense the momentary presence of something that transcends everyday life.

This week we will be guided through our Meditation in Jazz by Simon Barker. As both an educator, performer and composer Simon has constantly pushed his own musical boundaries with his exploration of the rhythms of Korean music and its deep cultural significance along with other global drumming and percussion. John Shand has described Simon in the SMH as having "few peers worldwide for flexibility, resourcefulness, imagination, and a complete absence of rhythmic cliches.”
For this improvisation, Simon will present a ground breaking collection of themes that he has previously not attempted on drums - something he's been thinking about whilst out running and exercising.
Presented in partnership with 107, Free Energy Device Studios and Big Spin Productions, we are overwhelmed by the success of this series and audiences enthusiasm for quality music regardless of whether it’s in a bar lounge or lounge room.
