Delay 45 is an acclaimed jazz & improvisation quartet led by trumpet/composer Tom Avgenicos, alongside close collaborators Roshan Kumarage (piano), Dave Quinn (bass), and Ashley Stoneham (drums). With a musical relationship that stretches back as far as their high school years, Delay 45 have created a performance style that flows seamlessly between structure and spontaneity. Simple, recurring motifs interspersed with tight-knit interplay and textural dynamism characterise their performance style. Their sophomore release Flux and their multidisciplinary music-dance work Ghosts Between Streams expands yet refines their innovative and individual approach to performance with remarkable agility, musicality, and finesse, demonstrating how they are one of the most exciting ensembles to emerge in recent years from Australia’s jazz and improvised music scene.
They have performed at some of Australia’s most prestigious concert venues and festivals including Sydney Opera House, Phoenix Central Park, The Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Recital Centre, and MONA.
