This ensemble brings together two distinct voices on the Australian jazz scene, Emma Gilmartin and Anton Delecca. They will be performing interpretations of classic jazz standards along with originals from their own albums.

Emma Gilmartin has gained a reputation as one of Australia's most talented jazz vocalists. Her treatment of jazz standards is undeniably unique, both enchanting and defiant, and has the ability to both restore and recast the work in a new light.

Tenor saxophonist Anton Delecca has led his own ensembles for over 25 years and has four albums released on Jazzhead Records plus a new album, The Offering out on EarShift Music. He recently lived in New York for 2 years, completing a masters degree in Jazz Studies.

“Delecca’s seven compositions are exceedingly thoughtful and original, with real melodic flair”

Eric Myers, Weekend Australian

“There is a lightness of being in the voice ... a voice that must be listened to as well as heard.”
