\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChasing the Moon is inspired by the romantic and swinging sounds of Django Rheinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. They\ncreate a delicious feast of heart-thumping swing,\nLatin, blues and modern sounds. They have received airplay on ABC Jazz, 2MBSFM and Eastside\nRadio.\nThe group is led by vocalist and violinist Kathy Bluff along with saxophone\/ flute player Paul Burjan. The two musicians have a rapport\ninformed by many years of playing music together. Kathy Bluff delivers her\ndistinctive style of soulful vocals and swinging jazz violin with warmth and\ncharm that melds with the elegant fluidity of Burjan\u2019s saxophone and flute.\nWell respected Sydney jazz guitarist, John Blenkhorn provides the rhythmic pulse and beautiful solos played with flair and attention to detail. That essential Parisian ambience comes with the piano accordion of the dynamic Garry Steel an engaging performer and gifted musician. The rhythm section of Merv Sequiera on double bass and versatile drummer Mike Quigley lay down the best of grooves.\nThe band has performed at Illawarra, Newcastle, Dubbo, Moruya and Wagga Jazz festivals and are regular performers at Sydney\u2019s Foundry616, Leichhardt\nBowling Club, Humph Hall and Camelot Lounge. \u201cTheir evocation of gypsy swing, cool blues, and continental jazz styles is peerless among Australian groups. The quality of the arrangements, the virtuosity of the instrumentalists, and Kathy Bluff\u2019s vocals are simply\noutstanding.\u201d \u2013 Tony Smith, Trad & Now Magazine, December 2022<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t“Often compared to Charlie Hunter, Tuck Andress, Julian Lage and Tommy Emmanuel… The jazz harmony is there, but worked seamlessly into pieces that could almost be considered closer to instrumental pop.”\n–\u00a0Jazz Guitar Today <\/strong>\n“But it takes an impossibly gifted player to improvise independent melodies, harmonies, and bass lines\u2014all at the same time\u2014while maintaining an impeccable groove. Australia\u2019s Adam Miller is one such rare phenomenon.”\n– Premier Guitar <\/strong>\nWith a career spanning over 20 years, Adam Miller had early beginnings as a solo guitar virtuoso, that led to session playing, producing, mix & master engineer, university educator and everything in between, but his vision of creating instrumental guitar music has never lost focus. He has toured the globe, performing in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Australia & even Afghanistan for the Australian and Allied Forces. Miller has shared stages with Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Adam Levy, Matt Schofield, Mason Stoops, Josh Smith, Joey Landreth, Russell Morris, Ariel Posen, Tony McManus, Ben Gillies (Silverchair) amongst others. With glowing coverage in guitar & music press across the world, the 2002 Australian Fingerstyle Guitar Champion has his own signature model guitar, the \u201cAdam Miller Redwood Rietbergen\u201d from Nik Huber Guitars. He is signed to US label SideHustle Records, owned by revolutionary guitarist Charlie Hunter, on which he released his latest album Beyond Reason.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
