I experienced my first jam session in Melbourne there as well.

This is another alliance of myself and Chelsea Allen. The current line-up is a quartet comprising of ourselves with Paul Bonnington (bass) and Ee Shan Pang (trumpet). Paul has played with me on numerous occasions, including subbing for Daigo Nakai in our trio, and I was so impressed with his interpretation of my pieces. That’s made him perfect for TiAP. Ee Shan and I have mainly played together with MOU, playing contemporary jazz pieces. So, this makes her a great part of the band.

Our first appearance will be at Grampians Jazz Festival 2013. We will perform my new compositions. See you there!

It was a great weekend that I had in Wagga Wagga, doing our sets at the Wagga Wagga Jazz and Blues Festival with Chelsea and Daigo.

We had all arrived at the venue for our first 1-hour set, Romano’s Hotel’s Chandelier Room, where we were scheduled to start playing at 2pm. We got a small yet warm crowd. But things were different in the evening. We had a big crowd during our 6pm–7pm set at the so-called small corner room at the same building. Not just big in number, but big in appreciation. We got an hour break before beginning our final set at 8pm. To our pleasure, the crowd was even bigger in both number and appreciation. However, the thing that I was so really happy with was that they enjoyed my compositions, big thanks to the stellar performance by Chelsea and Daigo. It was an honour for me to share the stage with them.

See you next time, Wagga Wagga!
