Kim Sanders &
Friends CD “Bent
Grooves” was launched before a rapturous audience at the Sound Lounge on May 8.
According to critic Peter Wockner: “It felt to me like the
shackles of the Howard monoculture had finally been broken during this
performance which represented more than just creative music but friendship,
inclusiveness, respect and genuine inter-cultural collaboration… By now
parts of the capacity crowd were shrieking… This was
nothing less than a triumphant performance by Kim Sanders and Friends” (The full review is at www.jazzandbeyond.com.au/8
)
The concert was recorded
by ABC Radio National for Music Deli and will probably go to air in
August. Check Music Deli website www.abc.net.au/rn/musicdeli
“Bent Grooves” was the
Featured Disc on the Weekend Planet, ABC Radio National Saturday May 3
