Hi, thanks for dropping by! Things have been very busy lately! The latest and most exciting news is that I'll have the chance to perform with Jazz legend Bennie Maupin at the Capital Jazz Project in Canberra on August 11. The CJP is a new Jazz festival in Canberra that started last year. Bennie's concert will include members of the ANU Jazz faculty and Jazz alumni including Eric Ajaye, Carl Dewhurst, Miroslav Bukovsky, James Greening, Mark Sutton and Gary France. I am very excited about this gig!!

I am currently working as Assistant Musical Director on the show "Jersey Boys". We are currently playing at the Civic Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand.  The Auckland season closes June 17, then we head back to Australia to do seasons in Brisbane and Adelaide.

Speaking of Jersey Boys, the former star of the Australian production Bobby Fox has started an exciting new project that I am a part of. The group's name is "Bobby Fox & The Treatment" and we've already been in the studio and laid down some tracks for an EP. Sounds great, so stay tuned! And like us on Facebook!

"The Strange Music Of Reality" has just released our debut album "Volume 1". It's pressed and ready to hit the streets, and sounds fantastic!! Stay tuned for more news coming up real soon on the TSMOR front! TSMOR has a website up... check it out at thestrangemusicofreality.com 

There's some more exciting stuff on the horizon for this year, so 2012 is looking like a lot of fun! I'll keep you posted.

Oh, by the way, if you wanna get in contact with me about anything, please send me an email to michael@michaelazzopardi.com.au
