Best wishes to Dale Barlow who is representing Australia this year at the request of the Thelonious Monk Institute and Herbie Hancock at the International Jazz day in Istanbul.  

As you can see from the programme below, I'm performing with Terence Blanchard, Terri-Lynn Carrington, James Genus. Then we're all playing 'A night in Tunisia with Herbie Hancock at the end. It'll be loads of fun!

It's a huge event, and will gather momentum over time. 24hrs of jazz all over the planet!. The line-up is amazing this year, and there's even been talk of holding it in Sydney in the coming years!
