Polyphony has a rich and multifaceted tradition… Palestrina, the singing of the Baka Pygmies, New Orleans jazz, Balinese gamelan… not to mention the outstanding talents of Bach and Schoenberg.


This constellation of world-class improvisers brings together woodwinds, brass, strings and percussion to create what Jon Rose terms ‘rogue counterpoint’ – parallel lines of melodic creativity and independent timbres that may (or may not) conform to harmonic logic or the established practice of counterpoint.


Jazzkeller69 welcomes Jon Rose (a former resident of Berlin) back to our city from the deserts of Central Australia (which remains his favourite place in Europe).


Line-up:


  • Jon Rose – violin/tenor violin
  • Conny Bauer – trombone
  • Frank Gratkowski – reeds
  • Meinrad Kneer – bass
  • Steve Heather – drums / percussion


Supported by funding from the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion, Jazz Project Funding
