BOBBY GEBERT

One of Australia's foremost post bop pianists.. There is little doubt that Bobby Gebert is one of Australia's elite jazz musicians, with over 40 years of outstanding achievements here and abroad, a pianist renowned for his excellent interpretation of Thelonious Monk, creativity and command of bebop based idioms. Now fronting a rhythm section of younger musicians well known on the Sydney scene, he continues to search for new musical territory, creating inspiring solos from compositions from the standard jazz repertoire (Monk, Ellington) to lesser known pieces and his originals ' swing, elegance of phrase and improvisational flair are Gebert's trade marks. from http://www.jazzandbeyond.com.au
