To have Sandy Evans OAM (saxophone) and Paul Grabowsky (piano) perform as a duo for the first time is amazing. 

Grabowsky founded, and Sandy is a member, of the Australian Art Orchestra. Grabowsky is the artistic director of the Hush CD series for the Melbourne Children’s Hospital. He directed the Adelaide Festival in 2010 and 2012.

Sandy Evans is an internationally renowned composer and saxophonist with a passion for improvisation and new music.  She has played with and written for some of the most important groups in Australian jazz since the early 1980s, including Clarion Fracture Zone. Women and Children First, and Ten Part Invention and toured extensively in Australia, Europe, Canada and Asia, and been featured on over 40 albums. She is an inspirational musician.  

“…this saxophonist surely ranks as one of the best contemporary jazz composers/musicians anywhere.” Ian Patterson, allaboutjazz.com January 27, 2012

There is no greater jazz royalty in Australia than these two artists.
