MIXED BUSINESS

MIXED BUSIINESS is a fresh new contemporary jazz quintet led by Trombonist LEE ORSZACZKY & Trumpeter BRADEN CLARKE.

Best known as exactly one half of modern Sydney big band Mosaic (whose recently released record Where We Are Now debuted at #2 on the ARIA Jazz Charts in 2025), Mixed Business will be stepping out & cutting loose at Dulwich Hill’s very own Butchers Brew Bar on Thursday July 31st.

Lee Orszaczky is a Sydney-based trombonist, bandleader & educator active in the jazz, pop & world music scenes. Lee has played with a variety of Sydney & Australia’s most popular acts, including Jazz outfits the catholics & The Subterraneans as well as leading trombone sections in James Ryan’s Sonic Boom, the Melaleuca Jazz Orchestra & many other large jazz ensemble projects.

Braden is a versatile musician hailing from Port Macquarie, with extensive brass band & theatre experience informing a uniquely warm & lyrical sound.  Relatively new to the Sydney Jazz scene, his playing is influenced by the likes of Chet Baker, Blue Mitchell &  Donald Byrd.

Backed by the Tesserae Trio (T-Ray, Watt, Simmonds), Mixed Business will be playing some music that is jazz & some music that is not jazz.  They might also play some things in between.
