INSIDE OUT — CD launch
Paul Williamson at Uptown with Eugene Ball for Trumpet Armageddon
Paul Williamson trumpet, Marc Hannaford piano, Sam Zerna acoustic bass, and James McLean drums launch their new album on Jazzhead, In Cahoots.
I’m recycling some pics, so that’s why Eugene Ball sneaks into the frame. But he won’t be in cahoots with this lot when they perform at Uptown tonight.
Don’t be deterred by rumours that a certain airline may have given grief to Sam Zerna’s bass en route to that rival city to the north. There’s a lot you can do with duct tape!
This quartet was formed in 2009 on Williamson’s return to Melbourne after two years living in Dublin and playing in Ireland, Europe and the US. In Cahoots is his seventh CD release as a leader, after Non-Consensual Head Compression (2001, Newmarket), Talk It Up (2002, Newmarket), Mutations (2003, Newmarket), On the Surface, In the Core (2005, Newmarket), Far Away Here (2006, Jazzhead), and By a Thread (2009, Downstream).
Since his return from Dublin, the trumpet player has performed with Charlie Haden, John Abercrombie, and the Australian Art Orchestra at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Stonnington Jazz with Inside Out and the Wangaratta Jazz festival with By a Thread.
He lectures at Monash University and at Victorian College of the Arts (Melbourne University).
