The concert will be a return for Alex on two counts: it follows his quartet’s sell-out Zephyrs concert at the Bermagui Community Hall in 2012; and he is coming back to a much-loved place, where he spent a great deal of his youth and that has inspired several of his compositions, most recently ‘Cuttagee, Wapengo’ – a fond remembering of the region from Europe.
The Zephyrs concert is part of an Australian tour to launch his new album, Place to Be. The tour includes Melbourne’s Bennett’s Lane jazz club, Venue 505 in Sydney, The Street Theatre in Canberra and MONA in Hobart. The other musicians are Julien Wilson (sax), Miroslav Bukovsky (trumpet), Jonathon Zwartz (double bass) and Tim Firth (drums).
The Alex Stuart Quintet is playing at 3pm on Sunday, October 26 at the Four Winds Windsong Pavilion at Barragga Bay (near Bermagui).
