The Conjurer - Allan Browne Sextet at Melbourne International Jazz Festival

Ever the raconteur, Allan Browne's sets at Bennett's Lane on a Monday often feature word play. This time it's official, with Browne's poetry - written in response to legendary jazz figures he has worked with - inspiring the sextet's trademark joyful grooves. Browne will also be celebrating the launch of Conjuror - a collection of his jazz poetry, published by extempore, and a CD of related new material released by Jazzhead. Don't miss this marriage of poetry and jazz. Features Nick Haywood - double bass as a central soloist to this sextet
