ZZUltrafox play the Athenaeum Library
About
Ultrafox returns to the Melbourne Athenaeum Library.Ultrafox combines the muscular driving rhythm of the manouche and lyricism of Hot Jazz to tender ballads, waltzes and their own compositions.
Featuring Peter Baylor on guitar and Esther Henderson on violin, with Sam O’Halloran guitar and Howard Cairns double bass. The band pay tribute to the music of the gypsy legend, Django Reinhardt, and imbue it with their own personal stamp.
Their music is characterised by the muscular hard driving swing of gypsy style acoustic guitars laced with lyrical yet fiery solos. Hot swinging jazz, tender lyrical ballads, French melodies, gypsy waltzes and original compositions make up the band’s extensive repertoire. Ultrafox create an atmosphere of elegant swing and exuberant, dynamic dance tempo jazz. They have recorded three albums and continue to tour and appear at festivals throughout Australia.
