Tim Stevens Solo

Explore the magic of one of our country’s finest jazz pianists, Tim Stevens in this intimate solo performance including both written and improvised repertoire.

Melbourne-based pianist Tim Stevens recorded two impressive albums with the Browne-Haywood-Stevens trio in the late 1990s, three further successful albums with the Tim Stevens Trio between 2004 and 2008 and a solo album Freehand in 2002 – a program of original compositions and spontaneous improvisations that met with considerable praise.

A pivotal aspect of the beauty in Stevens' playing is the humility and the natural, rolling flow in his improvisations. His sole preoccupation is communication, in which impressing the listener has no part. With Tim Stevens it’s never about showing off technique, it's always about establishing and exploring the moods suggested by the works.

“Even in a country so richly endowed with superior jazz pianists, Tim Stevens is one of those at the very top of the pile.” Limelight
