June 28, 2019
9:00pm - 12:30am Soul Movers
You want a word to describe the Soul Movers? How about electric.
The Soul Movers have returned from playing shows from LA to NYC at the same time recording a sizzling new album at many of the legendary studios of the South: Sun & Royal Studios in Memphis and FAME and Muscle Shoals Studios in Alamaba. With their sonic pilgrimage now recorded - visually and sonically.
The Soul Movers return home with bad road food stories, hotel hi-jinks and long roads full of new material which they can't wait to share in live shows with their fans back home.
The Soul Movers delved deep into their musical DNA to create an album that spans not only the spectrum of their musical influences but attempts to do justice to their deep passion for soul, the many that came before them, and how those voices and sounds have influenced them in such personal and lasting ways. The US live shows and recording trip really was a musical identity search and pilgrimage of epic proportions! With a musical spectrum reaching over Soul and Pop, Blues and Rock - the band travelled from LA to NY finding legends to collaborate and record with, developing their talents & abilities, and making their wildest music-making dreams come true.
Originally formed by Lizzie, (with Deniz Tek) ARIA Hall of Famer and legendary guitarist Murray Cook joining Lizzie at the helm in 2015. The group has evolved over the years, with the line-up now including original bass player Andy Newman with well-known drummers Stu Wilson, Calvin Welsch and Glenn Abbott joining the magical keys-man Marko Simec for a national album release in 2019.
Fans reach out for The Soul Movers' music with both arms finding music that resonates deep in their hearts with powerful messages that make life, and all its experiences powerfully real, utterly communal and something when survived we all grow from. Apart from that,just pure fun and wild musical excitement and of course ultimate dancing music!

Mezza / Ginsburg Ensemble (IT/AUS) - Convergence Tour -
June 4th, 8pm
Convergence is the collaboration between award-winning pianist Vittorio Mezza (Italy) and jazz saxophonist Mark Ginsburg (Australia). Akin to two worlds slowly closing in on each other - occasionally clashing, at times overlapping – their music is a beautiful combination of haunting ballads, slow-burning mood pieces and pulsating passages.
Released in September 2018, the album has received wide-spread critical acclaim and was recently announced as one of three finalists in the US based Indie Acoustic Project’s “Best Albums of 2018”.
The Mezza / Ginsburg Ensemble has toured in South Africa, and in Italy, where the album was recorded. Their first Australian tour features the stellar rhythm section of Tim Firth (drums) and Karl Dunnicliff (bass).
“A magic-carpet-ride” John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald
“The spirit of music married to the spirit of jazz….5 stars” – Bruce Cassidy, Blood Sweat and Tears
“A wonderfully conceived project by two great musicians … highly recommended” - Dave Liebman, saxophonist.

Bravo Victor
June 11th, 8pm
Comprising of Bassist Jonathon Burgess and vocalist Sophie Aked. Both musicians have a very different approach to writing and listing to music, which stems from their different musical backgrounds; Jono’s in Jazz and Sophie’s in Classical and pop music.
Bravo Victor’s sound could be described as a ‘melting pot’ of these genre’s harmonic language and performance practices. Through their strengths and passions, Sophie’s for poetry and melody and Jono’s for the intricate inner workings of harmony, complex and striking original music has been created."
Sophie Aked – Voice
Jonathon Burgess - Bass
Kate Wadey
June 18th, 8pm
Kate Wadey is quickly becoming a voice in Australian jazz to be reckoned with. Her 2nd upcoming album Moon Songs is the perfect example to Kate’s effortless charm and sophistication that so many jazz fans are becoming familiar.
Warmly embraced by a band of excellent and celebrated accompanying musicians, Wadey sings standards selected for their particularly fine character with a sweet, sure and rich voice. Without fuss or bravado but with pure assurance, she navigates the emotions and melody with equal skill; a brilliant young artist displaying a level of craft beyond her years, and producing fine, characterful and swinging jazz fare for the ears.

A HUGE EXHIBITION OF CHINA'S TERRACOTTA WARRIORS IS COMING TO THE NGV
It's one of two immersive exhibitions focusing on ancient and modern Chinese art heading to the Victorian gallery next winter.
Back in 1982, Melbourne played host to one of China's most important ancient artworks: a collection of statues known as The Terracotta Army. Crafted between 221–206 BCE and first discovered in the Shaanxi province in 1974, it made its international debut at the National Gallery of Victoria — and now, 37 years later, it's returning for the NGV's 2019 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series.
Dubbed Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, the five-month exhibition will feature eight warrior figures and two life-size horses from The Terracotta Army, alongside two half-size replica bronze chariots that are each drawn by four horses. They were created during the reign of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang and were buried near his tomb more than 2200 years ago. The pieces coming to Melbourne only represent a fraction of the entire work, which numbers more than 8000 figures in total.
If you're wondering how big of a deal the statues are, the answer is very. The Terracotta Army is considered one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century and has also been described as the 'Eighth' Wonder of the World. Displaying at the NGV from May 24 to October 13, 2019, the selected pieces will be accompanied by more than 150 other ancient Chinese treasures sourced from museums and Shaanxi archaeological sites. Expect to rove your eyes over priceless gold, jade and bronze artefacts that date back more than 3000 years, charting China's artistry across the country's formative period.
Looking to the present as well as the past, the NGV's winter season will also celebrate acclaimed Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. His work is no stranger to Australia — in 2014,Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art hosted its own showcase — however, his Melbourne exhibition will feature all new pieces. With Cai known for his large-scale installations, The Transient Landscapewill include 10,000 porcelain birds suspended in a spiral formation, in an artwork that links to The Terracotta Army. Specifically, it'll create a 3D version of a calligraphic drawing that depicts Mount Li, which is where Qin Shi Huang and his terracotta warriors were buried.
Another of Cai's new works will feature a porcelain sculpture of peonies placed in the middle of a 360-degree gunpowder, with his entire show taking inspiration from Chinese culture and philosophy. The world-renowned talent will also help design Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, making the two concurrent exhibitions as immersive as possible.
'Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality' and 'Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape' will exhibit as part of the NGV International's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces presentation, running from May 24 to October 13, 2019. For further details or to buy tickets, visit the NGV website.

An evening with one of music’s true icons
In an event not to be missed, the legendary Herbie Hancock performs in the Concert Hall for one night only, drawing upon his innovative, massively influential six decade career of jazz, fusion, funk, electro, hip-hop and beyond.
Few artists exert as much influence over the modern music landscape as Hancock. The Chicago-born, 14 time Grammy-winner’s illustrious career transcends both genre and era, from Blue Note Records prodigy and key member of the Miles Davis Quintet – which redefined the shape of contemporary jazz – to his ’70s smash jazz-funk crossover with the Headhunters, and as a true pioneer and originator of electro that made him a hero of successive generations.
Among Hancock’s innumerable contributions: his ’60s hits “Watermelon Man” and “Cantaloupe Island”, classic Blue Note albums Maiden Voyage and Speak Like A Child, playing on Miles Davis’s pioneering In a Silent Way, 1973’s funk gem Head Hunters, the ’80s electro smash “Rockit”, his Oscar-winning score for Round Midnight and soundtrack to Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-up, and his 2007 record River: The Joni Letters, awarded the Grammy for Album of the Year. And in 2011, Hancock was designated a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. Experience the musical legend who has collaborated with everyone from Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter to Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell and Kendrick Lamar.
