The Dilworths

The Dilworths are the brainchild of emerging Sydney trumpeter/composer Eamon Dilworth and began as an improvisational vehicle for Eamon’s compositions. They have since evolved into one of Australia’s freshest young groups finding the perfect balance of modern jazz influences, from American and European traditions to the raw earthiness of their Australian roots. The band have just launched their debut album with special guest Judy Bailey performing a set of solo piano. Nominated for the 2009 European Jazz Awards, the group features three National Jazz Award Finalists and four are James Morrison Generations in Jazz Finalists, including one winner.

If you like your modern jazz creative, swinging and with attitude, check out the Dilworths impressive debut CD. Wonderfully mature playing and exceptional compositions, this is an outstandingly talented group of young musicians who are already making waves and who we’re going to be hearing a lot more from in the future. Mike Nock, 2009

The talent-packed Dilworths are a band to watch out for; their appealing compositions and articulate performances cannot be ignored. John McBeath (Weekend Australian 2010)
