SIMA was delighted to debut this exciting new band in 2010 and tonight sees Sydney bassist Hannah James lead her group at The Sound lounge once again with a renewed energy.

Recipient of the Jann Rutherford Memorial Award 2011 for up and coming young female jazz musicians, Hannah’s career has gone from strength to strength with performances at The Brisbane Powerhouse, Kinetic Jazz Festival, Bennetts Lane Melbourne and more, plus studio performances and interviews for the ABC as well as recording her soon to be released debut album for this same band. These are outstanding achievements for such a young artist and she is certainly a committed musician and composer who is one to watch.

Hannah’s group consists of some of Sydney best up and coming musicians including with an exciting and accessible repertoire of mainly original compositions heavily influenced by the sounds of today’s best contemporary musicians from America and Scandinavia including Aaron Parks, Ari Hoenig, Gilad Hexselmen, Will Vinson, Aaron Goldberg, Tord Gustavson, Atomic and Illmiliekki Quartet.

Recently relocating to Sydney after graduating from the ANU School of Music, Hannah has already played with some of the icons of Australian Jazz including Don Burrows, Dale barlow and John Morrison as well as outside the jazz genre with pop musician Jessica Mauboy and others.
