‘Salamanca Jazz’ is Live in the Founders Room
Saturday 25th November with the The Sulzburger-Folvig-Park Trio
This November, Konrad Park returns to the trio format with an exciting lineup comprising pianist Dan Sulzburger, bassist Seb Folvig, and Konrad himself on drums. Built on the strength of last year’s trio venture, ‘Los Trios Bastardos’, Konrad Park dives into new territory as the Trio rediscovers the repertoire of Chick Corea and Emmett Cohen, among others. 

Dan Sulzburger has long been a strong voice in Hobart’s jazz community, able to bring to life any form of jazz, with his tasteful, passionate, and authoritative playing.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast out of Duloc by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking Donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty princess Fiona from a Dragon-guarded tower so Lord Farquaad can marry her, then Shrek’s swamp will be returned! But all is not as it seems in this fairytale land!

Featuring characterful costumes, fun songs, stellar performances, and a few twists and turns along the way, join us and let your ‘freak flag fly’ at this fun party in the swamp!

The SPIKE MASON QUARTET
This newly formed quartet will be playing for the first time, and will be presenting music that Spike has written, and other music that he hasn’t. The group will weave their way through pretty melodies and lush harmonies, with Svetlana Bunic on accordion, Sasha Gavlek on bass, and Tom Robb on drums.’Spike Mason’s saxophone achieved a high level of pure melodic play.’ John Clare – ABC Digital Radio
Read more at www.spikemason.com   

“Spike Mason is a fantastically good sax player. The respect he has earned from all corners of the music industry: young and old, jazz, classical, folk and pop is testament to his ability to listen, reflect, and respond musically in any situation. The strength of his performance and the sublimity of his improvisations are always evident. Few musicians are so reliably able to find the sweet spot in any venue, the heart in any ensemble, the ear of any audience. ”— Andrew Lorien – Improvising multi-instrumentalist and Venue Manager @ Johnston St Jazz, Sydney, Australia.

A musical chameleon, with a kaleidoscopic array of cinematic musical styles, accordionist Svetlana Bunic’s musicality is driven by curiosity and possibility.

Sasha Gavlek is a contemporary bassist, bandleader, composer, and educator hailing from Hobart. With a love for alternative jazz and rhythmic madness, Gavlek pours her soul into her compositions and improvisational work. Gavlek is a part of several regularly performing acts outside of her own alt jazz quartet including Kudu Joy, Uncle Gus and the Rimshots, and FFLORA. Gavlek graduated from the UTAS Conservatorium of music with a Bachelor of Music in 2019. 

Tom Robb is a Hobart-based Electronic musician and drummer, working in the fields of improvised experimental music and Jazz. Tom has worked with some of Australia’s finest musicians, including Jim Denley, Damien Kingston and Cor Fuhler.
