đź“– About the Event: James Sherlock and Lillian Albazi are Naarm-based improvisers with distinguished careers spanning jazz, classical, and experimental music.
Lillian Albazi, an internationally acclaimed vocalist and composer, made her debut at the 2016 Melbourne International Jazz Festival and gained critical acclaim for her 2021 debut album After-Image. Her boundary-pushing work across projects like Bright Phantoms (with bassist Oscar Neyland) and USA-based noise collective Objects Without Pain has earned international radio rotation and praise from international music publications including Stereogum, Australian Arts Review, Rhythms Magazine and Brooklyn Vegan. With regular touring across Australia, New Zealand and Europe, Albazi’s fearless artistry bridges jazz, art music and alternative genres - anchored by a voice described as both captivating and emotionally charged.
James Sherlock, a celebrated guitarist and winner of the 1997 Ike Isaacs International Jazz Guitar Award, has performed extensively at venues such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and collaborated with international icons including Sheila Jordan (USA), Cyrille Aimée (FRA), Jeff “Tain” Watts (USA), John Riley (USA), Leroy Jones (USA), Rick Margitza (USA/FRA), Martin Taylor (UK), Paul Grabowsky (AUS), Megan Washington (AUS), Joe Camilleri (AUS), film composer Howard Shore (USA) and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. With six albums as a bandleader and recent recognition for his feature on François Tétaz’s 2025 film score for The Surfer, Sherlock continues to affirm his place among modern jazz’s most versatile guitarists.
Though the Sherlock Albazi collaboration is a relatively new project, the pair have already toured extensively, performing at 03 Sessions, The Granity Theatre and The Single Fin Mingle in Aotearoa, as well as at leading jazz venues across Australia alongside Ben Hanlon (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) and Holly Moore (Namboku Records/Australian Art Orchestra).
James Sherlock and Lillian Albazi will be joined on stage by James Sandon – Tenor Saxophone, Thierry Fossemalle – Double Bass and Dave Sanders – Drums.
