Marmalade Circus
Marmalade Circus returns with a wonderfully eclectic concert of original
music from Calypso's to Arabian themed odd meters and a newly written
avant-garde suite. It's jazz, but the tunes are catchy and quirky, with
buoyant grooves from Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East. Featuring
six horns and fiery percussion Marmalade Circus puts on an energetic,
inspiring and at times, downright silly show.

The music from this ensemble is a unique
style of contemporary jazz which draws influence from serene,
earthy folk music as well hard hitting rock. James's original
compositions are rich in dynamic contrast and varying timbral
textures, with plenty of room for adventurous, freewheeling
improvisations.
The group has performed regularly
throughout Melbourne, at venues such as Bennett's Lane, The
Paris Cat, Bar 303, Stones of the Yarra and the Wangaratta Jazz
festival. They have also performed at several Adelaide venues,
including The Promethean Theatre and COMA (Creative Original
Music Adelaide). They have recently made a recording for ABC
Jazztrack, which is planned for release later this year.
