At this concert, Burrows (clarinet, flute and alto saxophone) and Golla (guitar) gave a roaring display of the swinging, mainstream jazz that is appealing and relaxing for so many people. In their playing, there are few signs of the atonality, chromaticism and dissonance which characterise much contemporary modern jazz, and this perhaps explains their great popularity with middle-of-the-road jazz lovers.

    OBITUARY: JOHN SANGSTER 1928-1995 by Bruce Johnson _________________________________________________________ ohn Grant Sangster, musician/composer, was born 17 November 1928 in Melbourne, only child of John Sangster and Isabella (née Davidson, then J Pringle by first marriage). He attended Sandringham (1933), then Vermont Primary Schools, and Box Hill High School. Self-taught on trombone then cornet, learning from recordings with friend Sid Bridle, with whom he formed a band. Sangster on cornet: self-taught first on trombone, then cornet… PHOTO COURTESY AUSTRALIAN JAZZ MUSEUM Isabella’s hostility towards John and his jazz activities came to a head on 21 September 1946, when she withdrew permission for him to attend a jazz event; in the ensuing confrontation he killed her with an axe but was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter. In December 1946 he attended the first Australian Jazz Convention (AC) in Melbourne, December 1946, and at the third in 1948 he won an award from Graeme Bell as ‘the most promising player’. He first recorded December 30th, and participated in the traditional jazz scene, including through the community centred on the house of Alan Watson in Rockley Road, South Yarra. 1 He married Shirley Drew 18 November 1949. In 1950 recorded (drums) with Roger, then Graeme Bell, and was invited to join Graeme’s band on drums for their second international tour (26 October 1950 to 15 April 1952). During this tour Sangster recorded his first composition, and encountered Kenny Graham’s Afro-Cubists and Johnny Dankworth, which broadened his stylistic interests. Graeme Bell invited Sangster to join Graeme’s band on drums for their second international tour, October 1950 to April 1952..

  • Keith Stirling: an Introduction to His Life and Examination of His Music
    KEITH STIRLING: AN INTRODUCTION TO HIS LIFE AND EXAMINATION OF HIS MUSIC Brook Ayrton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of M.Mus. (Performance) Sydney Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney 2011 1 I Brook Ayrton declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed:…………………………………………………………………………… Date:………………………………………………………………………………. 2 Abstract This study introduces the life and examines the music of Australian jazz trumpeter Keith Stirling (1938-2003). The paper discusses the importance and position of Stirling in the jazz culture of Australian music, introducing key concepts that were influential not only to the development of Australian jazz but also in his life. Subsequently, a discussion of Stirling’s metaphoric tendencies provides an understanding of his philosophical perspectives toward improvisation as an art form. Thereafter, a discourse of the research methodology that was used and the resources that were collected throughout the study introduce a control group of transcriptions. These transcriptions provide an origin of phrases with which to discuss aspects of Stirling’s improvisational style. Instrumental approaches and harmonic concepts are then discussed and exemplified through the analysis of the transcribed phrases. Stirling’s instrumental techniques and harmonic concepts are examined by means of his own and student’s hand written notes and quotes from lesson recordings that took place in the early 1980s. 3 Acknowledgements Many thanks go to the following individuals for their thoughts and reflections on matters in the study and their remembrance of a time when Australian jazz music was prolific in the popular culture of this country.

    NATIONAL JAZZ CO-ORDINATION NEWSLETTER No 3, May 2, 1988 Writer & editor: Eric Myers, National Jazz Co-ordinator ________________________________________________________ Visit of the Australian Jazz Orchestra to the United States. In a two-weeks visit to the United States, from April 5-19, the AJO played to open-air audiences for three days at the Houston International Festival, in jazz clubs for one night in Chicago (The Jazz Showcase), San Francisco (Kimball's) and Los Angeles (Catalina Bar & Grill), in a New York jazz club (Carlos I) for three nights, and to a concert hall audience of over 400 at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. A shot of the Australian Jazz Orchestra, which appeared in The Australian newspaper on December 11, 1987. Four musicians at the back are L-R, James Morrison, Paul Grabowsky, Dale Barlow, Bernie McGann. Middle row, L-R, Gary Costello, Doug DeVries, Bob Venier, Bob Bertles, Alan Turnbull, Don Burrows, Warwick Alder. Front row, crouching, L-R, Peter Brendlé, Eric Myers. This does not include the trombonist Dave Panichi who joined the band for the US tour… PHOTO CREDIT BRANCO GAICA 1 The band included 12 musicians: Warwick Alder (trt & flugel), Bob Venier (trt & flugel), James Morrison (tromb, trt, tuba & euphonium), Dave Panichi (tromb & flugbn), Bob Bertles (alto, baritone & flute), Bernie McGann (alto), Dale Barlow (sop & tenor), Don Burrows (flutes & baritone), Paul Grabowsky (pno), Doug de Vries (gtr), Gary Costello (bass) and Alan Turnbull (drs). Trombonist Dave Panichi, who joined the AJO for the US tour… As I was able to hear every performance of the AJO in the US, I can vouch for the fact that the band played with absolute brilliance; the players generally played longer solos than they did with the AJO in Australia, and pushed themselves way beyond their normal limits.

The program began with a track from George Trevare’s Australians, a group which included Don Burrows, then aged 16.] Andrew Ford: Back to Croajingolong that was. We heard George Trevare's Australians, and among them was the young Don Burrows playing clarinet, and it's a very great pleasure to say: Welcome back to the Music Show, Don Burrows. Don Burrows: Thank you very much, Andrew. Gee that brought back some memories, hearing that. Andrew Ford: How young were you? Don Burrows: I was about 15, and when they came out I was 16. Yes, it was during the war, it was about 1944 we recorded it, and I think it came out in '45 or something like that. Yes, but all those guys are gone now, except the drummer - Al Vincer - and Al lives up in Newcastle somewhere, I haven't seen him in many years, the drummer and vibraphone player on it. But the others have all gone. And I'm 80 soon.
