Simple songs for a complicated world.
Lugano III invites you into a listening experience shaped as much by space as by sound. There most recent recording was made live in a classical auditorium - no baffles, no headphones - the room itself became part of the music. Every resonance, every decay informs the repertoire, the sonic palette, and the improvisatory flow.
The result? Ambient textures, swirling soundscapes, and compositions that dissolve into one another - like a live ECM mixtape unfolding in real time.
Featuring four of Australia’s most distinctive improvisers:
Harry Mitchell (piano)
Karl Florisson (contrabass)
Ben Vanderwal (drums & cymbals)
with Theo Carbo (guitar, ambient textures)
Together, they create immersive, cinematic jazz that blurs the line between composition and improvisation - music shaped through deep listening, clarity, and collective responsiveness.

✨ G&T TRIO ✨
What a gift to be able to hang out with people you love (near boat houses on windy mornings) and sing and play.
You can find this original song of Jessie’s on all your fave streaming services, it’s called Torch and Stone

Introducing the G&T Trio, just casually hanging out at #blueboathouse singing jazzy lil tunes and trying not to fall into the water. Pretty sure it’s a Perth rite of passage (none of us fell in this time but OH MY we were close).
We have this song on the list for Set List Roulette on Saturday and Sunday, link in bio and stories if you don’t have a ticket yet, our early Saturday show is sold out already!
