Our Favourite Things brings together some of the music that has inspired Andrew throughout his life, from the cool jazz of Paul Desmond to the songs of Stevie Nicks, Don Walker and Richard Rodgers. Alongside these favourites, the program features Andrew’s award-winning original compositions and some brand-new music. Featuring some of Brisbane's best known jazz musicians, the band brings its own contemporary jazz perspective to this diverse collection of music.
