Andrea Keller & Stephen Magnusson

Two of Australia’s finest jazz artists unite.

Andrea Keller is one of Australia’s most influential voices in improvised jazz and art music. A multi-award-winning pianist and composer, she has released over 20 albums, forging a distinct sound defined by fearless creativity and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Acclaimed musician Stephen Magnusson is known for his incredible technique and astoundingly beautiful tone. Joining Andrea on guitar, he has performed with leading figures in contemporary music including Sinéad O’Connor, Charlie Haden, Meshell Ndegeocello, John Cale, Gurrumul Yunupingu, Paul Kelly, and many others.

With a creative partnership spanning two decades, the duo joins forces for an unscripted night of original works.

Praise for the artists

‘…the mind and sound-world of Andrea Keller, a place that is one of the most original, if not THE most original, in Australian jazz.’ – John Hardaker

‘If evidence were called for as to Andrea Keller’s stature as a composer and musician, we need look no further than Transients volume 1 and 2. In a career already littered with highlights, these albums take their rightful place as seminal Australian jazz recordings, demanding space on the shelf alongside recent award-winning albums by Jonathan Zwartz, Sam Anning and Julien Wilson.’ – Australianjazz.net

‘Whenever she plays piano something magical happens.’ —The Weekend Australian
