Guitarist/composer Stephen Magnusson is one of the most versatile and distinctive musicians in Australia.
He will be performing with his STOZ trio (which released a self-titled CD), featuring bassist Sam Anning, and longtime collaborator, the highly respected drummer, Dave Beck.
After spending much of the 1990s teaching in Switzerland, Magnusson returned to Australia and was co-winner (with James Muller) of the 2000 National Jazz Guitar Award at Wangaratta. In 2013 he received the Melbourne Music Prize, and won the 2013 ‘Bell’ Australian Jazz Award for Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year for Magnet. He was a member of Archie Roach’s band until his passing.
