CHASING THE MOON combines the exuberant and romantic sounds of European & Latin Jazz, imbuing them with a unique style which embraces folk elements and a dash of the blues. The arrangements bubble with a fresh, original energy that provides each band member with a chance to shine. Led by Kathy Bluff on violin and vocals and Paul Burjan on saxophones and flute, the band explores a rich, orchestral palette, combining soulful vocals with swinging violin and saxophone. Garry Steel's accordion weaves across the other instruments bringing that essential Parisian charm.
Respected Sydney jazz guitarist, John Blenkhorn provides rhythmic pulse and exquisite solos, whilst the talented rhythm section, featuring Merv Sequiera on double bass and Mike Quigley on drums, lays down the best of grooves.
"Their 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's vocals are simply outstanding." Tony Smith, Trad & Now Magazine
“...like walking through a music festival in a European village” Simon Marnie, ABC Radio
“Chasing the Moon provides wonderful entertainment. Kathy Bluff’s violin and vocals make Chasing the Moon really swing – not to be missed!” Doug Saxon, Newcastle jazz festival
