Legendary Jazz musician Don Burrows (AO, MBE) has been at the forefront of the jazz world for most of his 60 years in the business. Renowned for his musicianship and his enthusiastic support for the jazz arts, he's also highly respected internationally, where he's toured annually since 1960. Burrows was named Living National Treasure in 1988 and 1998 and was the first Australian jazz artist to win a gold record, the first to play Europe's famed Montreaux and the USA's Newport festivals, the first to play in China, the first awarded a Creative Arts Fellowship, and the first inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. His passion for jazz has seen him embark on several countrywide educational tours in recent years, taking his music and experience to schools in isolated corners of Australia, from Broome to Tasmania. - from SBS Documentary 'Australian Biography'
