A pairing of pianist and composer Paul Grabowsky AO, and acclaimed soul vocalist Emma Donovan.
Emma Donovan is best known for her work with The Putbacks and The Black Arm Band - as well as touring and recording alongside legends such as Archie Roach, Yothu Yindi and Paul Kelly - and her voice carries within it many deep currents. Her family hail from both sides of the continent, and her many musical influences reflect her early experiences singing country, as well as the rich legacy of soul music which she conveys so powerfully.
In The Old Rugged Cross, Grabowksy and Donovan are joined by a powerful collection of Melbourne's finest jazz musicians in exploring another side of Donovan's early influences: the gospel and hymn tunes she grew up with in communities. Alongside the title track, this performance features songs made famous by artists like Aretha Franklin and Johnny Cash, as well as songs written by Donovan's own grandfather, Micko Donovan.
