The Arié Awards reunite to play the original compositions of Steve Arié. From light hearted and jovial to serious and commanding, the music is modern but nostalgic, and the tunes melodic and memorable. The band features an all star lineup with Paul Cutlan on bass clarinet, Steve Elphick on double bass, Nic Cecire on drums and Steve Arié on alto saxophone.
"Arié’s compositions are full of attractive musical ideas, and interactions between the alto and bass clarinet, often in collective improvisation, are beautiful to hear. The improvisations are a delight, and the excellent rhythm section grooves, even at an energy level of subtle chamber music. This highly enjoyable album, full of melodic beauty, invokes the feeling that all is well." Eric Myers, The Australian, 2020
Steve Arié is a rare bird on the jazz scene. After more than 25 years as one of the most in demand jazz double bass players, he has reinvented himself as a quirky vocalist and alto saxophonist with more than a nod to the styles of Chet Baker and Paul Desmond. Steve has performed with many Australian greats including Dale Barlow, Bernie McGann, D.I.G., Ten Part Invention, George Washingmachine, Pardon Me Boys, MARA!, Bob Bertles, Erol Buddle, Wanderlust, Martin Plaza and Gyan. He has played at festivals and events including two performances at Chicago Jazz Festival, Hothouse Jazz Club Chicago, The Kennedy Centre for Performing Arts (USA), Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ruhrfestspiele Germany, Queenstown Jazz Festival and jazz and music festivals throughout Australia. Steve is self taught and plays saxophone, flute, double bass, electric bass, guittaron (Mexican bass), guitar, piano and drums.
