The Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra (nominated as Australian Jazz

most dynamic jazz orchestra. April and May 2009 sees the orchestra

Belgian Jazz legend, Bert Joris. The Mothership’s members have
dominated AustraliaÅfs top prizes over the last decade including 10 x

Fellows (including 2 winners), 2 x Australian Jazz Artist’s of the
Year (Bell awards), two James Morrison Scholarship Winners, a finalist
in the International Thelonius Monk Trumpet Competition plus a
finalist at the Hoolieart International Jazz Competition
(Belgium).
Musically this ensemble represents many of the finest young improvisers Australia has to offer, and features original music from Sydneys most dynamic and creative large ensemble composers all packaged into one exciting super-ensemble. This 2009 National tour sees the orchestra collaborating with incredible Belgian trumpeter & composer, Bert Joris, a major force of the European jazz scene.
Celebrated for the warmth and lyricism of his playing, Joris is a leading international musician with a particular love for large-ensemble jazz and is mainly known for his playing & composing with the Brussels jazz Orchestra, Village Vanguard Orchestra and Belgian legend Phillip Catherine.
