Featuring some of Australia’s most acclaimed jazz voices—Hilary Geddes (guitar), Michael Avgenicos (tenor sax), Luke Sweeting (piano), and James Waples (drums)—the Max Alduca Quintet brings Monastery to life in an eight-date tour across Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, and Victoria.
Drawing on Alduca’s reflections during a transformative period of study in New York, Monastery blends contemporary jazz with free improvisation and cinematic textures. The album offers listeners a journey through stillness, intensity, and expressive freedom—anchored by the quintet’s deep musical rapport and the sensitive production of legendary bassist Lloyd Swanton (The Necks).
Don’t miss the chance to experience the Max Alduca Quintet live on stage—where their dynamic interplay and emotional depth promise to leave a lasting impression.
This tour is produced by SIMA with the support of Playing Australia and Create NSW.
