Led by vocalist and composer Jo Fabro, the ensemble features Freya Garbett on keys, James Hauptmann on drums, and Sabine Tapia on bass, creating an immersive sound world that is both intimate and expansive.
Drawing on improvisation, groove, and atmospheric textures, the quartet’s music moves seamlessly between lyrical storytelling, rhythmic exploration, and cinematic soundscapes. Their original works celebrate collaboration, spontaneity, and the expressive possibilities of modern jazz.
Presented as part of the SIMA International Women’s Jazz Festival, the Jo Fabro Quartett offers a compelling performance that reflects the creativity, innovation, and artistry of some of Australia’s leading contemporary musicians.
