Sirens Big Band

Sirens Big Band brings a new sound to the big band setting: 16 instruments weaving lilting African, Middle Eastern and Latin rhythms together with instrumental jazz.

This all-female ensemble, co-led by bassist Jessica Dunn and saxophonist Harriet Harding, will perform their first show on Sunday 21 March at the Petersham Bowling Club. Sirens Big Band will be supported by Bri Cowlishaw and band.

Dunn and Harding are the recent recipients of the Jann Rutherford Memorial Award (named after the late pianist Jann Rutherford), which assists in the professional development of outstanding young female jazz musicians in Australia.

Presenting a broad repertoire gathered from global inspiration and local roots, Sirens Big Band explore the works of Australian contemporary jazz composers Linda Oh, Judy Bailey, Jeremy Rose, Zoe Frater and Laura Kahle, as well as the band’s original compositions. In-house arranger Jenna Cave re-works music previously unplayed by big band – tunes from Ethiopia’s Mulatu Astatke to Sydney’s jazz-reggae outfit ‘The Vampires.’ With a strong focus on improvisation, Sirens Big Band features outstanding soloists such as Ellen Kirkwood, Monique Lysiak, Loretta Palmiero and Ruth Wells.

As eclectic as their repertoire, the members of Sirens Big Band come from a wide and varied background of experience: a string of Sydney Conservatorium jazz studies graduates; a couple of members of Sydney’s ‘The Bakery’, and even a shakuhachi player.

Sirens Big Band recognises a need to support young female jazz musicians, an outlook shared by the convenors of the Jann Rutherford Memorial Award. To further increase the visibility of female musicians in the Australian jazz scene Sirens Big Band plan to run workshops for female high school students to promote their interest in jazz studies.

A busy first year is set for the Sirens, with gigs lined up at the Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival and SIMA’s Sound Lounge, as well as a recording with ABC Radio National.

Corrina Steel

Comparisons with Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt alone should make you sit up and take notice, but when an artist is described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "arguably the most important left-field country music talent to emerge in this country since Kasey Chambers", and"…top notch, with a full, round and effortless voice" by Melbourne’s Age newspaper, there’s really no excuse for not getting a one-way ticket to ride the Corrina Steel train. The woman that can effortlessly tear up gospel, soul, country, swamp and blues is just about to drop her third album. Stay tuned for details.
