Event Details
Over 20 years the Alister Spence Trio have built a distinctive world of sound based around Alister’s compositions; establishing a strong national and international reputation, with performances including Tokyo International Jazz Festival, Montreal and Vancouver International Jazz festivals, and Vivid Festival Sydney (curated by Brian Eno, 2009).
The band has been twice nominated for an ARIA Award (Best Jazz album 2004, 2007), and an APRA/AMCOS Art Music Award (Excellence in Jazz, 2018). The trio’s most recent album Not Everything but Enough was voted by Music Magazine, Japan, in the top 10 jazz releases worldwide for 2017. A new album featuring Ed Kuepper is now recorded and will be released in early 2020.
