Transients

Abstract

Transients Trios was devised and lead by Andrea Keller. The trio performed a regular Tuesday night series in Melbourne (Bennetts Lane Jazz Cub, Uptown Jazz Cafe). The trios featured many of Melbourne's finest improvisers, both established and emerging, performing compositions by Keller and others, along with collective improvisations. 'Transients' paid tribute to Australian musician, Allan Browne. It facilitated the development of new repertoire, creating Australian ‘standards’ and the development of an Australian ‘songbook’ through the learning and promotion of original compositions by Australian jazz contemporary musicians.
