Garnering ecstatic praise and playing to sell-out audiences around the country, Christopher Hale’s Sylvan Coda’s with influences in Flamenco and Afro-Cuban music emerge in an exquisite and fearlessly original performance. Featuring an 8-piece ensemble with Johnny Tedesco’s striking Flamenco dancing and a stunning vocal section led by jazz luminary Gian Slater, Sylvan Coda live is an epic and thrilling live concert event.

An unconventional virtuoso of the acoustic bass guitar, Christopher Hale is a remarkably talented and versatile young bassist [and] an enormously gifted composer and arranger - The Age

Christopher Hale

An unconventional, freethinking virtuoso of the acoustic bass guitar, Christopher Hale is widely respected as "a remarkably talented and versatile young bassist and an enormously gifted composer and arranger" (The Age). Hale's subtle and powerful mastery of the six-string acoustic bass is characterised by a complex harmonic awareness (particularly his unique chordal approach), formidable rhythmic strength and heartfelt melodicism.

Recently awarded the prestigious Freedman Fellowship for Jazz, Hale and his new group Sylvan Coda have been garnering ecstatic critical praise and have played to sell-out audiences since the launch of their album in late 2012. Convening a dynamic and cutting-edge group of close musical colleagues, Sylvan Coda reaches deep into Hale's upbringing in Flamenco, jazz and rock music, and emerges as an album of exquisite lyricism, complex rhythmic cycles and compositional strength. Sylvan Coda live is an epic, widescreen vision: stirring melodies, soaring voices and the bold, progressive Flamenco dance of Johnny Tedesco.
