After a brief hiatus while Gemma finishes her PhD, the Gemma Farrell Quintet returns to the stage at the Perth Women’s International Jazz Festival with a powerful set of original music.
Led by saxophonist and composer Gemma Farrell, this acclaimed Perth ensemble brings together some of Western Australia’s most compelling musicians including Sam Hadlow on trombone, Dan Garner on guitar, Lucy Browning on Bass and Ryan Daunt on Drums. Known for their expressive interplay and genre-defying sound, GFQ seamlessly blends contemporary jazz with electronic textures, lyrical melodies, and driving rhythmic energy.
This performance marks a renewed chapter for the quintet, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the group’s evolving musical language, featuring selections from their three critically recognised albums.
Bold, exploratory, and deeply engaging, the Gemma Farrell Quintet is a standout voice in Australian jazz. Don’t miss their return to the festival stage.
