TESTIMONIALS:
what people are saying about Andrew Murray & ATM15.....


"Andrew Murray took my simple tunes and made them into works of art. I haven't heard it yet, but if he does for his own music what he did for mine, I'm sure his band is a wonderful experience. Can't wait to hear it."

FRED WESLEY (USA) Funk Trombone Legend, Musical Director for James Brown





“Andrew Murray is one of Australia’s most talented young composers. He has the unique ability to combine modern jazz sounds with grooves to make you dance in a powerful big band setting. His music is individual, refreshing and cliché free. The music of Andrew Murray is a look into the future of large ensemble jazz.”

ED PARTYKA (Germany) Composition professor at the University of Music in Graz, Austria





“Andrew has what it takes. Talent, humility and hard work, a recipe for success. A composer/bandleader to keep an eye/ear on in the 21st century.”

ED NEUMEISTER (Los Angeles/NYC) Grammy nominee, composer/trombonist/conductor, professor at the University of Music in Graz, Austria





"Andrew Murray's ATM 15 Big Band is one of the most exciting large jazz ensembles I have had the pleasure of hearing. Well versed in the traditions of big band, with a tasty blend of contemporary grooves. Andrew's compositions and arrangements, that are the focus of the band's repertoire, are world class - full of rich and interesting harmonies and orchestrations that held my attention for the entire set. With numerous top class soloists in the band and an energetic rhythm section, this band is a welcome addition to the few truly original Australian big bands."

DARYL MCKENZIE (Melbourne, Australia) Composer/Arranger/Musical Director: Hey Hey It’s Saturday, Australia’s Got Talent, Dancing With the Stars, Daryl McKenzie Jazz Orchestra





"No offence, but I don't give out these kind of comments anymore."

BOB BROOKMEYER (USA) Living legend
