NOV 12 - JAZZ BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR
ERIC TSAI is a guitarist/composer who currently studies Jazz Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Eric has performed all around venues in Sydney, such as Butchers Brew and Lazybones Lounge, and larger festivals such as Smash and Manly Jazz Festival. Eric’s music is driven by a basis of firm melodic expression, his compositions and improvisation both providing constant surprises, yet never lose track of development.
Accompanied by Dorby Xu (Drums) and Henry Hall (Double Bass), the trio communicates with each other spontaneously, creating water-like flow in all the songs, compassing emotions from joyfulness to melancholy and vulnerability. Tonight the trio will be presenting a catalogue of jazz standards, unexpected classics and originals.
Food and beverages included with entry.

NOV 26 - JAZZ UPSTAIRS
Jazz Upstairs is proud to present Lachlan McKenzie.
Lachlan McKenzie is a musician who has gained recognition both nationally and internationally for his formidable abilities as a jazz trumpeter and composer.
Born and bred in Brisbane but Sydney-based since 2021, Lachlan has had the opportunity to perform & record with various well-known artists over the years. In 2023, Lachlan toured his quartet to Osaka, Japan to perform at the 25th annual Takatsuki Jazz Street Festival, and over the last two years Lachlan has also performed at leading jazz clubs in Seoul, South Korea and Bangkok, Thailand.
“Departures” is Lachlan’s sophomore album, which features seven of his original compositions, coincidentally written over a seven-year period. The captivating, modern music explores themes of relocating, new beginnings, isolation, and sentimentality. Along with the pensive and evocative sound of Lachlan’s trumpet, the music is brought to life by a team of celebrated close friends and collaborators – Lachy Hamilton (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Whitta (piano), Jacob Graham (double bass), and George Greenhill (drums). The album has recently been nominated and is in the running for an ARIA for the “Best Jazz Album”.
