Double Bill: Claire Cross: Into Light + COAST

Embark on a genre-bending journey that will stretch your imagination.

Claire Cross presents her latest project 'Into Light' - an immersive, electro-acoustic suite that swells with lush textures and delicate melodies. Commissioned by the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, the all-Melbourne project features outstanding young saxophonist Flora Carbo.

Paul Derricott earned his stripes playing in multiple projects, at home and abroad. His genre-defying style as a drummer defines the modern jazz fusion outfit COAST. The music focuses less on technical prowess, and more of tasty grooves and driving rhythms.
