The pairing of Melbourne guitarists James Sherlock and Stephen Magnusson in solo sets produced one of the highlights of our 2011 program. Both have produced solo guitar albums, and each will again present a set of solo works, before culminating the concert with a rare duo performance of original music.

Co-winner of the 2000 National Jazz Guitar Award, Magnusson’s solo album was “13 Creatures”, released on ABC Jazz in 2008 to critical acclaim. Sherlock, winner of the Ike Isaacs International Jazz Guitar Award (1997), released his first solo guitar album, “Solo”, on the Pinnacles label in 2009.
