Live at the Thornbury Theatre (CD)
Recorded live on June 4, 2009 at The Thornbury Theatre in Melbourne, Victoria Australia, at the final performance of Sunwrae’s 2009 Australian National Tour. It features 7 tracks (autumn never fall, rainlessness, desert walk, soluble sun ii, poly, the machine & chinook winds) performed by a 9-piece ensemble on piano, vibraphone, string quartet, harp, alto flute, double bass & drums, led by Director Rae Howell.
“These refreshingly underivative, striking compositions are all highlights—though it is safe to say that this live recording underlines Rae’s credentials as a composer and arranger of some originality and no shortage of imagination, and as a musician with a flair for melody, lyricism, and haunting drama. Most impressive, indeed.” (Ian Patterson, All About Jazz).
