Past Event
The Bowie Project are excited to bring their electrifying show to The Counts! Led by pianist Adam Rudegeair (Lake Minnetonka, PBS FM's 'Black Wax'), The Bowie Project presents bold new spins on classics and obscurities from David Bowie's sprawling back catalogue.
“Jazz at its best. Virtuosic. Irreverent. Dangerous.” – Skylashes.com.au
The Bowie Project’s latest release, ‘Strange Changes’, is a bold mix of New Orleans flavours and Herbie Hancock space-funk. It was launched with the complete 9-piece band to a sold out crowd at the 2021 Melbourne International Jazz Festival. The line up includes:
Adam Rudegeair – keyboards
Phil Hayter – tenor sax
Ash Ballat – trumpet
Tim Agius – bass
Thom Mitchell – drums
Neda Rahmani – percussion
Reviews
‘Rudegeair has a knack of picking out the melody and themes, allowing us a new appreciation of the originals while opening our ears to the possibilities of jazz. To do that via my all-time favourite songs, as a music listener, I could not ask for more!’
Adam Dean, Bowie Downunder
‘…an inspired re-imagining and re-interpretation of Bowie’s brilliant songbook, that bears proof of Adam Rudegeair’s own brilliance as a pianist, arranger and jazzman.’
Nikos Fotakis, Australianjazz.net
‘Original in conception, expertly realised, with performances of the highest quality.’
Andrew Byrne, Box Hill Institute
