James Morrison is a virtuoso in the true sense of the word. Besides the trumpet, this multi-instrumentalist also plays trombone, piano, saxophone and double bass. For this special concert he brings his Quartet to the Town Tent for a night of swinging jazz. Energetic and joyful, jazz at its finest.  
  
James has played all of the world's finest jazz venues, including Birdland, The Blue Note, Village Vanguard in New York, the New Morning in Paris, the Tokyo Blue Note and Ronnie Scott’s in London. He has shared the stage with jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, George Benson, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles and B.B. King. A member of The Order of Australia, he has recorded with The London Symphony Orchestra, rock legends INXS and the European Brass Ensemble, performed at the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms, written the opening fanfare for the Olympic Games, played for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and for US Presidents Bush, Obama and Clinton.  
  
Playing with this ensemble is James' favourite way to perform. The quartet is comprised of his two sons William and Harry Morrison plus drummer Patrick Danao. What makes the quartet so special is the joy they create when they perform. James says, “This is what can happen when you have four musicians who all have a will to swing and are of one mind when it comes to the reason they play”.    
  
Doors open at 3.30pm for a 4pm show. Finishes at 5.30pm  
Town Tent is an all ages alcohol free space.
