The Music Of Charlie Parker

Event Date: 17/01/2014, 08:30 pm

Sydney's new generation of BeBopers...
Sydney's new generation of BeBopers will bring to you the absoloute classic music of Charlie Parker in a celebration that tributes the master saxophonist and genius mind, who changed JAZZ music forever.

Charlie Parker - 'Bird', innovated a whole new approach to the way jazz music was played, not only on the Saxophone, but all jazz instruments. His approach to improvisation provided 'freedom' from the pop culture of swing music as Bird represented musicians for the first time as intellectual artists rather than entertainers.

An all star Bebop Quintet line up made up of the most dedicated jazz musicians playing all your favourite tunes that are still cherished today - including 'Billies Bounce,' 'Ornithology,' 'Now's The Time' and more!

Will Endicott (Trumpet)
Stas Radzievskiy (Saxophone)
James Heazlewood Dale (Double Bass)
Daren Sirbough (Keys)
Phil Lombardo (Drums)

Jodie Michael - Broken Time

Event Date: 16/01/2014, 08:30 pm

Exciting drummer & winner of the 2013 Jann Rutherford Memorial Award
Exciting drummer and winner of the 2013 Jann Rutherford Memorial Award (JRMA), Jodie Michael debuted her new quartet Broken Timefor Foundry616 in October 2013.

With subtle comparisons to McGann’s original quartet of the 1960s, which, like Jodie Michael's, features New Zealand musicians and was hugely original, Michael brings together key players from the local talent pool to create this thrilling new quartet.

Free jazz alto saxophonist Peter Farrar, who is a major talent influenced by McGann, joins pianist Steve Barry, another brilliant New Zealander with an exciting, soulful style, inspired by the great Mike Nock and finally, NZ bassist Tom Botting, who has found a place for himself in the competitive Sydney scene and formed a dynamic partnership with Jodie Michael through her trio.

In 1965 two locals (Bernie McGann and John Pochee) and two New Zealanders (Andy Brown and John Pochee) shook up the Sydney jazz scene as the ‘Bernie McGann Quartet’. Broken Time is set to do the same.

Short Sweet And Cabaret

Event Date: 15/01/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet Cabaret takes place at the New Theatre
Short+Sweet Cabaret takes place at the New Theatre, Newtown from 8-19 January Wed-Saturday 7.30pm with a 2pm Sat matinee. Plus the ‘Wildcards’ shows Sun 12 Jan at 2pm and 7.30pm.
The gala final will play on Sun 19th at both 2pm and 7.30pm.

Kate Gaul is festival director and says merging theatre and music cabaret creates an atmosphere of exploration, energy, politics, stories, character, sex, songs and silliness.

“The festival will test new ideas, take risks and allow audience and performer to share intimate, unique experiences.

"We have been inundated with artists wanting to perform a 10-minute cabaret: music, comedy, burlesque... and some work that is simply undefinable!”

On display is the work of both seasoned professionals and talented newcomers. Big names include burlesque ‘names’ Marlena Rosenthal and Liz Lea as well as opera stars Kannen Breen and Jacqui Dark with their outrageous duo act “Strange Bedfellows (“a raunch-laden remix of favourites that explodes the boundaries of good taste with a hydrogen F-bomb”). Plus bizarre drag porn satire in “Candy Chambers: Hot and Wet”

Other characters and themes include a send-up of sporting WAGS (wives and girlfriends), a hilarious tale of one artist’s lifelong rivalry with Nicole Kidman, dating, an Indian wedding singer, confessions of Cruella de Vil’s playboy son, a western saloon burlesque, an amazing biography set in colonial Ceylon, four competing sperm, inner city housesharing, Marlena Dietrich, a gay virgin, nutty people, a bizarre lunar landing, a helpful usher, and a shocking ‘date with Dali’. There’s even a cabaret where the content is decided by the audience pulling songs out of a hat!

The cabaret festival - followed by Short+Sweet Dance - runs in parallel with the annual short theatre fest, just up the road at the King Street Theatre.

Steve Barry Trio

Event Date: 15/01/2014, 08:30 pm

Award-winning pianist and composer.
Winner of the 2013 Bell Award for Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year and Runner-up in the 2013 National Jazz Awards, Steve Barry has cemented his position as one of the country’s finest pianists since relocating to Sydney from New Zealand in 2009. His debut, self-titled album was released on Jazzgroove Records in late 2012 to high critical acclaim, receiving a 4-star review in The Australian.

Joined by long-time musical comrades Alex Boneham and Tim Firth, his trio explores a wide range of musical territory with a unique fluidity and rapport. Tonight’s performance at Foundry 616 will premier brand new material to be recorded in February 2014, as well as excerpts from a suite of compositions for solo piano which form a part of Steve’s PhD studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

"The trio's creative empathy was immediately apparent on tunes such as Epiphany, where the musicians eschewed a clear rhythmic focus for a diaphanous, drifting feel, shifting our attention seamlessly from one player to another with each glistening chord, reverberant bass note or softly padding mallet".
-Jessica Nicholas, Sydney Morning Herald, June 26 2013

The Laugh Stand At FBi Social With Sam Simm...

Event Date: 15/01/2014, 08:00 pm

Cult comedy legend Sam Simmons & YouTube superstar Neel Kolhatkar
To kick off an exciting year of top-shelf monthly comedy at FBi Social, in the Kings Cross Hotel, we have a cracker of a show for you on Wednesday 15 January 2014.

We are giddy with excitement to feature multi-award winning cult comedy genius Sam Simmons (ABC TV’s ‘Problems’, NBC’s ‘Conan'). Sam is one of the most daring and unconventional comics in in the country; completely original and vastly absurd, with one foot firmly planted into the soils of reality, and the other rooted deep into the psyche of being silly. He has wowed sold out rooms around the world, and FBi Social on 15 January will be no exception.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, your Emcee for the night is YouTube sensation, and winner of the national Class Clowns competition (2009), Neel Kolhatkar. At only 19 years of age, Neel has over 100, 000 subscribers on his You Tube channel, millions of hits on his videos, awards, accolades and a growing legion of loyal fans.  

Sam and Neel will be joined by Dave Bloustien (Writer, 'Good News Week’), and rising stars; Nikki Britton, Richard Lindesay, Emma Zammit, Daniel Muggleton, Miles Hunt and Dane Hiser.

Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse

Event Date: 13/01/2014, 09:00 am

Adventure Trail
Looking for something to do during the school holidays? Something a little out of the ordinary?

The Museum of Human Disease is Australia's only publicly accessible medical disease museum - which means this is the only place to come face to face with the deadliest killers in Australia.

We can also teach you how to avoid many of them - including the coming Zombie Apocalypse* (also werewolves*, SARS, influenza, Bird and Swine flu).

Keep your eyes peeled for daily "special activities" including how to wrap a bandage, brain making, zombie disguise make-up, lectures from Zombie "experts", experiments and classes. You could also watch a "virtual autopsy" or build your own "Super Bug" zombie disease.

* Zombies, Zombie Apocalypses and werewolves may not be real, but the science, and fun you will have, are very real.

Running from January 6th to the 24th 2014.
Open Monday to Friday from 9am till 5pm.
Also open Saturday and Sunday the 18th and 19th of January 9am till 5pm.

Adult's only Zombie movie night and expert talk on Saturday the 18th of January... check website for more details.

NOTE:
Double-passes can be used from 9am to 5pm.
