James Morrison's Brass Sonority concert explores a European-style brass ensemble sound rather than traditional brass band arrangements. The 10-piece ensemble comprises four trumpets, four trombones, French horn, and tuba, with Morrison on brass and piano supported by his quartet: William Morrison (guitar, vocals), Harry Morrison (double bass), and Patrick Danao (drums). Guest soloist Patrick Bartley on alto saxophone will contribute to the performance.
The repertoire spans jazz standards, original compositions, Latin grooves, and gospel vibes with substantial improvisation throughout. The concert runs approximately 2 hours including a 25-minute interval. Tickets are $100 for adults and $95 concession. A Friday Package option at $155/$150 includes the concert plus a post-concert soirée with the artists from 9PM, featuring canapés and wine. Bar platters are available from 5:30PM for $45 (serves two).
Brass Sonority is the first concert of the James Morrison Jazz Weekend; Concert Two and Concert Three follow on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September respectively. The event is held at UKARIA Cultural Centre, which acknowledges the Peramangk as traditional custodians of the land. Note: the Friday 4 September concert is currently sold out.
