Flora Carbo is a Naarm (Melbourne) based saxophonist who is undoubtedly one of the most exciting up-and-coming improvisors in the Australian jazz scene.

“Her saxophone produces a colourful palette of ideas and she’s eager to explore them all” – Nikolas Fotakis, Australianjazz.net

She was nominated for The Freedman Jazz Fellowship in 2022, 2021, 2019 and 2018, and was a finalist for the Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year at the 2019 Australian Jazz Bell Awards.

Joining her is award-winning Sydney pianist Wilbur Whitta, who’s recenty recorded his debut album with ABC Jazz. In 2019, he won the UK-based Dankworth Jazz Composition Award.

“[He] will make a substantial contribution to Australian music” – Mike Nock
