Damon Poppleton Quartet

Damon Poppleton is a 20 year old alto saxophonist, arranger, composer & bandleader. He is the 2019 James Morrison Scholarship winner selected by Joey DeFrancesco & Rickey Woodard, a member of the Sydney Conservatorium Jazz Orchestra, & has played with bands such as John Morrison’s Swing City as well as the Andrew Dickeson Quartet. 

In 2022, he had one of his big band compositions "Foster Eyes" performed by Andrew Robertson's Big Band on many occasions at Foundry616 & Manly Jazz Festival.

This performance at Butchers Brew will showcase many of his brand new original compositions written for this quartet. Ranging from burning swing to grooves in odd times, these tunes were inspired by real personal experiences, reflected in both their title & musical intention.

James Morrison said about Damon: "Occasionally a musician comes along who plays way beyond their years. We then usually say how good they are for their age...but at only 16 years of age, Damon Poppleton would be called great if he played like that at 50!"
