Geoff Power is well known within the Australian Traditional Jazz community. He toured the US with the New Wolverine Jazz Orchestra and appeared at the Davenport Bix fest several times. His website lists two dozen bands he has appeared with or been part of, this latest release is with a band he models on Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks, but as he noted, without a violin.
I sometimes get the impression there are as many quality jazz bands playing for 25 million Australians as there are for 330 million Americans, though those in that country are likely fearing the same demographic crisis we face in the States. Power has found his own way of combating those demographics.
