Sounds Like"Glyn serves it up. He isn’t into just playing chords and devices but rather describing things with music, describing specific feelings or abstract concepts. He has a vision and his music will take you there if you allow it." Barney Mcall New York pianist, Blue Note recording Artist, Pianist for Gary Bartz "An impressive young pianist who explores the musical possibilities with an enquiring mind and virtuosic skill. Watch this space!........." Helen Matthews Jazz Program Producer, Perth International Arts Festival "MacDonald plays with style and restraint, and Sam Anning (Bass) and Michael Perkins (Drums) follow suit. The three men bounce ideas off each other with practised ease. MacDonald also impresses as a composer. His melodies refuse to follow predictable routes, and his harmonies twist away from sugariness. When all five musicians play together, it's not hard to be reminded of the Miles Davis Quintet." Peter J Casey Canberra Times (Jazz Reviewer) "An appealing piano voice and a promising approach. Keep making the good music" Tord Gustavson ECM recording artist "Glyn MacDonald's Trio is an exciting and extremely talented band from Perth. Their music is a mix of startlingly original compositions and jazz standards. It is played with the ease that comes from superb individual talent that has come together with the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This is the new wave of West Coast Jazz." Peter Kenyon JAZZWA Chairman "The recording is sharp and tight knit. All of the compositions are original, which is a great accomplishment considering most classic jazz CD's out there contain one or two tracks from someone else. The Glyn MacDonald Trio provides music for Jazz lovers to listen to on a lazy evening." Mike James Smooth Jazz and More Radio The first album from the Glyn MacDonald Trio is a self-titled journey of distinctly original material that features the outstanding abilities of two great Australian horn players. Matthew Jodrell (Trumpet & Flugal horn) and Carl Mackey (Alto & Tenor Saxophone) leave no melodic stone unturned in their quest for improvisational exploration. A master stroke in bringing the finely tuned talents of sound engineer Lee Buddle into the mix, has capture an unprecedented warmth and raw beauty from the live environment in which it was played. The results truly speak for themselves, but it must be heard to be believed.

He received the highest mark possible for his graduation recital and was invited to become a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society for excellence in his field.

Yeaaah ;D

My first movie "Deliverance" in which I play the 3rd part, is available partly subtitled in English, partly into the shape of English dialogues.

http://delivrance.dhammadana.org/

Filmed in Switzerland and Burma (Myanmar) !
You can download it freely. Here is the link : http://delivrance. dhammadana. org/en. htm

Hope you'll like it and give me your impressions here !
Just don't forget that it's really an independant and 100% amateur film.
No professionals, no technicians, no material, no money.
Only the pleasure to make a movie ;D

Enjoy

Hi Glyn, it is great to catch up and hear your work. I've learnt so much since 2000 when we were at the con. I have one song in schools throughout Australia and I am proud of my latest effort,"Bad Weather", with Mark Sutton on vocals and Dean Wuksta on everything else. I am looking for people to interpret my songs. Take a look at "Mummy on the Run". Keep in touch. I would love to hear back from you.

Thanks man, you did things with your hands I would've never thought possible before...

Wait that could be misinterpreted too. What I mean is you certainly got some great sounds out of us- damn that didn't really help either...

I have had a look at the solo. Do you have any recordings of it???
Now I'm looking at Music Nerd jokes =D

^_^ The funny thing is, I just read that out loud to my brother, so we re-enacted the "Don't make friends with salad" scene...

We're an odd family... We scare our neighbours.
