Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kristin Berardi is no longer able to join us on the Resonance tour. I’m incredibly grateful that the wonderful Michelle Nicolle will be stepping in for the entire tour, from 17 October to 1 November, alongside Andrea Keller, Jenny Barnes and me.

Celebrated as one of Australia’s finest jazz vocalists, Michelle has a voice described as both tender and wistful, yet propulsive and dynamic. Her many accolades include the 2024 Music Victoria Award for Jazz Work of the Year and a National Jazz Award.

As Kurt Elling puts it, Michelle was “born to sing, born to charm, enlighten and seduce through music.”

We’re thrilled to welcome such an exceptional voice to the Resonance tour. We also kindly ask that you respect Kristin’s privacy at this time.

Green, Evans, van der Schyff (Sydney/Melbourne) – Debut/Album launch
Sun 20 September @ 7:30 pm

Even Quiet Embers Carry Fire is the debut album of the collaboration of the Sydney pair of guitarist Jess Green and saxophonist Sandy Evans, with Melbourne-based drummer Dylan van der Schyff. It is a deeply attentive exploration that evokes experiences of space and nature, through shifting patterns of light, sound, and feeling.

The trio draws on shared sensibilities spanning ambient music, noise, and free jazz, creating music that unfolds patiently and with quiet intensity. All three artists bring deep histories in improvisation and experimental music. Jess Green is a genre-defying guitarist whose work spans jazz, new music and contemporary classical contexts. Sandy Evans OAM is one of Australia’s most revered saxophonists and composers, with a four-decade career marked by innovation, collaboration and international recognition. Dylan van der Schyff is a globally respected drummer whose work bridges texture, rhythm and sound design across avant-garde traditions.

Together, Even Quiet Embers Carry Fire offers music of restraint and power – a reminder that subtle forces can still carry immense energy. Jess Green (guitar/electronics), Sandy Evans (saxophones) and Dylan van der Schyff (drums/percussion) taken in The Jazzlab by @sandyevansmusic

Resonance began as a conversation between Sandy Evans and Andrea Keller
about what it means to sustain a creative life across decades — not in spite of everything else, but alongside it.
Caring for family members,raising children, teaching, mentoring, and challenging the glass ceiling faced by women at
all stages of their careers, especially within the male-dominated jazz scene. The music moves between composition
and improvisation the same way life moves between structure and surrender. The project features texts by Michele
Morgan, Hazel Smith, Andrea Keller, Sara Teasdale and Jeanie Greensfelder. by @sandyevansmusic

What does ORGANIC HYBRID LEMON ORANGE music sound like?

I’m going to Byron next weekend to find out!

Yesterday I saw this fruit near my place in Sydney beckoning me to Byron Bay where I’m going to hang out with Ben Walsh, Greg Sheehan and Zela Margossian. A rare and precious opportunity to explore ideas, learn from these legends, and create new music. Adding to the joy, special guest Peter Hunt on trumpet.

We are playing at High Fi on Sunday 13th. If you’re in the area please come and join us! by @sandyevansmusic

Thin Skin - the second single from Resonance is out today.

This is an improvisation by myself, Andrea Keller and Jenny Barnes. This was the first time I had played with Jenny and I was absolutely astonished to hear what an incredible improviser she is. The text Jenny chose to use in this improvisation is from a poem box that my dear friend Michele Morgan sent me.

Anyone around in the Jazz scene in Sydney in the 90s would remember Michele - a wonderful vocalist and poet. Huge thanks to Jenny and Andrea for this precious opportunity to create music together. by @sandyevansmusic
