CJC Fresh Faces: Alex Keatley & Toby Barrett

Fresh Faces: Alex Keatley & Toby Barrett
A double bill of two up and coming band leaders.

TOBY BARRETT
The Fourtune Quartet

The 'Fourtune Quartet' blends a rich tapestry of emotional and simple melodies to a jazz setting.

Saxophonist Toby Barrett has worked on a series of compositions experimenting with minimalist techniques and lavish harmonic depth. Many of these original compositions are designed to create an emotional soundscape, focusing on melancholy. Alongside these originals the quartet will also be playing modern jazz tunes by artists that inspire the band.

The 'Fourtune Quartet' invite you all to an evening of emotional modern jazz music that they have been working on through their time studying at Auckland University.

Sounds from the Motherland

Diving into his roots, young Auckland bassist Alex Keatley is excited to present ‘Sounds from the Motherland’ - a project that aims to showcase and share some of the rich and vibrant jazz from South Africa.

During his last year studying at Auckland University Alex has discovered his love for the style and compositions that come from all over South Africa. Taking inspiration from modern greats and legends in the past Alex and his band will be presenting a few of his own original compositions and showcasing some of the music he has discovered on this journey.
