James Morrison’s A-Z of Jazz
Australia’s First Man of Jazz, James Morrison is set to be bringing us a brilliant celebration of jazz at the iconic Sydney Opera House.
James Morrison is a magician of the trumpet. And the trombone, and the saxophone, and the keyboard… He sings too! His talents are as multifaceted as a symphony orchestra and he has had mountains of success to prove it.
To get a glimpse of the last time James Morrison performed at the Opera House, take a look at the video below:
He composed and performed the opening fanfare at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. He was introduced into the Graeme Bell Hall of Fame 2013 at the Australian Jazz Bell Awards and in July 2013 he conducted the World’s Largest Orchestra in Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, comprising 7,224 musicians.
James Morrison in action!
With the alluring and charismatic vocalist Hetty Kate, he’ll lead you on a joyous dance through the Dixieland of Louis Armstrong, the Swing of Ella Fitzgerald, the Big Band of Duke Ellington, the smouldering Cool of Miles Davis, the Latin colours of Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz, and the modern fusion of Joe Zawinul.
