Saxophonist Sandy Evans is an extremely talented and highly respected musician in Australian jazz, and has been for a number of years.
Sandy says that in her resent musical work her passion has been exploring intersections between improvises from jazz and Indian music background.
Sandy’s CD recording ‘Kapture‘ with drummer Toby Hall, bassist Brett Hirst, tabla drummer Bobby Singh, Indian singer Sarangan Sriranganathan is an homage to Ahmed Kathrada the South African politician and former political prisoner who spent 26 years and 3 months in prison, 18 of which spent on Robben Island, when Nelson Mandela was also held.
The compositions are a response to some of the extraordinary stories of his experiences in prison.
The program will open a composition called ‘Passive Resistance/No Regrets‘ followed by ‘One Planet‘
