Improvised Dialogues: Haisman & Goyer

About

Ed Goyer & Kelvin Haisman

Two distinctive Australian jazz musicians come together for an evening of improvisation, rhythm and musical conversation.

Ed and Kelvin first performed and recorded together over twenty years ago and share a love of improvising across genres. They perform their arrangements of a number of much-loved but lesser-known pieces from Contemporary repertoire, along with original compositions inspired by Latin rhythms and Jazz harmony. Among others, the show will feature compositions/arrangements by pianist Monty Alexander and vibraphonist Gary Burton.

Ed Goyer is one of Australia’s most versatile jazz musicians — a vibraphonist, percussionist, pianist and composer whose career has moved freely between jazz, Latin music, contemporary composition and improvisation. Kelvin Haisman is a jazz pianist and teacher who has travelled the world with his music and is well known on the Sydney jazz scene as a session player.

Ed has performed and recorded with leading Australian musicians including Jenny Morris, Ed Kuepper, John Morrison and Gai Bryant, and was a member of the ARIA-nominated band CODA. His playing has taken him from the Sydney Opera House and City Recital Hall to WOMAD and festivals across Australia.

He is also the driving force behind Polymorphic Orkestra, an acclaimed ensemble creating spontaneous, electro-acoustic music from vibraphone, percussion, electronics and improvisation.
