Event Details

Dynamic long-running Perth group Speedball was a jewel in the Perth jazz scene after it’s inception in 2000, until its members were scattered across the globe (two studying in the USA, one based in London, and others relocating to Melbourne and New York). Formed after an inspiring tour of New Orleans and New York City, Carl Mackey (saxophone) and Mat Jodrell (trumpet) sought to form a super band that would conjure a similar energy to which they’d experienced overseas.

After many years Speedball have overcome geographical challenges to find themselves reunited again in their native country. The front line of saxophonist Carl Mackey and trumpeter Mat Jodrell share a rare connectivity, complimented by the virtuosity of pianist Grant Windsor, Daniel Susnjar and bassist Sam Anning. The group will be exploring standard and original material, with a promised emphasis on extremes – extremes of energy, beauty, ferociousness, swing, subtlety, and emotion.

2017 sees the arrival of their much anticipated debut album, ‘We Have Moved', to be launched with performances at Morrison’s Jazz Club, the Sydney Con Jazz Festival and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.
