standards dating from 1937-1963.
90’s indie rock icon Rebecca Barnard hails from Australian jazz royalty – her late father Len Barnard and uncle Bob Barnard both pioneering legends of that scene.
After forty years as a beloved staple in the Australian music industry (Rebecca’s Empire, Rockwiz etc) Rebecca has finally recorded her first Jazz Album “The Night We Called it a Day”. The album is a culmination of years of Rebecca’s life in music – a resplendent arrival in sunny pastures by one of Australia’s cultural treasures.
Rebecca effortlessly breathes soul and connectivity into this album of refreshingly under-exposed jazz standards dating from 1937-1963. The production style is reminiscent of artists such as Madeleine Peyroux and Melody Gardot, making the album more accessible to a mainstream audience than the word ‘jazz’ might imply.
Produced and arranged by pianist/composer Monique diMattina, it features stunning performances from the crème of the jazz/roots scene – This album has an international and ageless resonance for a broad audience of music lovers.
Rebecca is looking forward to presenting these songs to a Sydney audience with a stellar band featuring Monique DiMattina on keys , Ben Robertson on Bass and Sam Lemann on guitar and Hamish Stuart on drums.
