Newmarket Music with Romero Records are proud to announce:
Julian Curwin’s The Mango Balloon Volume 4
Julian Curwin’s The Mango Balloon is a stripped-back chamber version of The Tango Saloon, with a lighter sound bringing lounge, exotica and jazz to the larger band’s tango/western blend. Volume 4 features special guest Matt McMahon – one of Australia’s finest keyboardists, Matt is known for playing a wide range of music with the likes of Vince Jones, Phil Slater and Joseph Tawadros, as well as his own ensembles.
Julian Curwin – guitars, piano, melodica
Marcello Maio – accordion, piano
Sam Golding – trumpet, tuba
Mark Harris – double bass
Danny Heifetz – drums
Jess Ciampa – percussion
With special guest: Matt McMahon – Rhodes electric piano
Attractive melodies materialise and dematerialise, and sounds flutter and float in the guitarist-composer’s delightfully genre-free approach. His sextet is a little chamber orchestra capable of realising a breadth of sonic options with precision, humour, passion and understatement. Sydney would be a duller place without Julian Curwin.
