About this album
At The Sydney Opera House is a lively live album that captures The Don Burrows Quartet at full stretch. Issued in 1974, it presents the Australian reed player and his group in a setting that suits their blend of soulful jazz, jazz-funk energy and crisp contemporary swing. Burrows was already one of Australia’s best-known jazz figures, and this recording underlines why: the interplay is relaxed but focused, the improvising is melodic rather than showy, and the concert setting gives the music extra lift. It stands as a fine document of Australian jazz at a time when local players were expanding the style’s commercial and artistic reach.
