In 1996 I started my first jazz quintet which morphed into ‘The Daimon Brunton Quintet’ by the time of the band’s debut album, ‘Never Again Such Beauty’ (2002). By 2005 The Daimon Brunton Quintet took a look at the funkier side of jazz with ‘Unlimited-Slip Diff’ (2005). This was the band’s first album on the Newmarket Music label. By ‘My Favourite Things’ (2008) the band looked at blending French inspired café tunes with modern jazz. Adding a piano accordion to the standard setup and a number of original jazz waltzes. Having never recorded a live album The Daimon Brunton Quintet recorded more hours than ever before to come up with the electric ‘Wah Sa’ (2012).
Over the last 3 years Daimon has put Daimon Brunton Quintet on the backburner to startup the 8-piece pop/funk band ‘Soul Cupcake’.
Now Daimon is assembling a BRAND NEW quintet with new tunes and reworkings of his favourite picks from the past 4 albums.
Daimon Brunton – trumpet
Adam Rudegeair – piano
David Gooey – guitar
Adam Donaldson – drums
Craig Strain – bass
The band was a highlight of the Castlemaine Jazz Festival and I promise you that this gig is truly not to be missed.
Get on down to Bennetts Lane Jazz Club on Wednesdays 12th & 19th October, 2016 at 8pm.
