Lowlights turns 5 today!! This album was developed throughout 2019, after we toured our first album and then hit the studio for album #2 . Then, thanks to a pandemic, our takes sat on ice for months until they could be safely mixed and mastered. (Totally worth the wait!)
This album was also our first vinyl pressing with Spirograph Studies - we have nearly run out in fact! (We are down to the last box…)
Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to the making of it, and to everyone who has a copy ❤️

Just listening back to a few vids from my gig at Lido Jazz Room with Fran Swinn, Nick Haywood and Niko Schauble on 29 Aug...I'm a very lucky lady getting to sing with such beautiful musicians and human beans 🎶🥰
Here's a little taste of the seasonally inappropriate "Autumn Leaves" by Kosma, Parsons and Mercer

JAMES O’BRIEN QUINTET
Pianist and composer James O’Brien returns to the MJC with his quintet to perform a compelling program of original music. A graduate of the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) who relocated to Melbourne in 2023, James is a standout voice among a new generation of Australian jazz artists. Known for his creative, forward-thinking approach grounded in jazz tradition, O’Brien’s virtuosic playing has been praised for its striking maturity and depth. Performing with celebrated ensembles such as the Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra, Horizon Art Orchestra, and the WA Jazz Project, he had appeared at the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Festival and the Perth International Jazz Festival, among others. James O’Brien (piano) is joined in this dynamic quintet by Richard Pavlidis (tenor saxophone), Fran Swinn (guitar), James Shortland (double bass) and Luke Andresen (drums)
