John Henderson Trio

Led by Joshua "John" Smeltink (On-Ly), Henry "Henderson" Hicks (Horatio Luna) and realised by the virtuosity of Damien Ellis on drums, the trio balances lyrical composition with fearless improvisation, drawing from the post-bop lineage while speaking with a distinctly modern Australian voice. Their chemistry is built on years of collaboration across jazz, soul, and improvised music, resulting in performances that feel both refined and completely alive. Fresh from appearances at London's Ronnie Scott's and performances alongside internationally celebrated artists including Tenderlonious and Jaubi, John Henderson continue to establish themselves as one of Melbourne's most compelling contemporary jazz groups: confident, honest, and deeply musical.
