Newmarket Music with Romero Records are proud to announce:

Julian Curwin’s The Mango Balloon is a stripped-back chamber version of The Tango Saloon, with a lighter sound bringing lounge, exotica and jazz to the larger band’s tango/western blend. Volume 4 features special guest Matt McMahon – one of Australia’s finest keyboardists, Matt is known for playing a wide range of music with the likes of Vince Jones, Phil Slater and Joseph Tawadros, as well as his own ensembles.

Julian Curwin – guitars, piano, melodica

Marcello Maio – accordion, piano

Sam Golding – trumpet, tuba

Mark Harris – double bass

Danny Heifetz – drums

Jess Ciampa – percussion

With special guest: Matt McMahon – Rhodes electric piano

Attractive melodies materialise and dematerialise, and sounds flutter and float in the guitarist-composer’s delightfully genre-free approach. His sextet is a little chamber orchestra capable of realising a breadth of sonic options with precision, humour, passion and understatement. Sydney would be a duller place without Julian Curwin.
