Three jazz pianists. Two generations. One family.

Three family members; brothers Colin and Ted Nettelbeck, and Colin’s son Alexander Nettelbeck, perform together in a return concert at fortyfivedownstairs.

Ted once accompanied American jazz legends Mel Tormé and Buddy Rich at the legendary jazz club The Embers.  His brother Colin is an accomplished pianist and composer, who has maintained his jazz interests during his life as an academic in French Studies. Alexander has performed with his trio and quartet in numerous local and international festivals, and with artists including Vivian Sessoms, Davide Monti (Italy) and Eric McGrath (Ir). They will be joined by top Melbourne jazz instrumentalists: Richard Miller (saxophone/woodwinds), Mikey Chan (guitar), Conrad Henderson (bass) and Andy Horneman (drums) in an exciting program of original compositions, favourite standards and jazz interpretation.
