About this concert
Lachy Hamilton Trio feat. Harry Morrison (DBass) and Patrick Danao (Drums).
Hailing from the small community on Scotland Island, Sydney, Australia, Lachy Hamilton began playing the piano at the age of four. Taking up the clarinet, and then saxophone soon after, his musical journey has taken him around the world performing with the likes of James Morrison, Wycliffe Gordon, Kate Ceberano, James Muller, Sarah McKenzie, Patti Austin, The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and many more.
In March 2109, Hamilton released his debut album ‘Alchemy’. Inspired by Paolo Coelho’s novel The Alchemist, the album features the talents of Australia’s brightest up and coming musicians. ‘Alchemy’ establishes Hamilton as a strong composer as well as improviser. As James Morrison says: “with Hamilton, the future of jazz is in good hands”.
