English-born Sydney resident Steve Hunter has a special affinity with jazz, bass and the Jazz Bass. He is surely one of the most talented and exciting bass players the genre has seen. Steve leads a four person Jazz band that play at Lazybones Lounge on the third Tuesday of every month. A prolific composer of over three hundred tunes, of which sixty have been released, Steve has taken jazz beyond standards. His pieces serve as departure points, creating mostly modal moods with lots of space for development of improvisations. The Steve Hunter Band consists of Matt Keegan, Matt McMahon and Gordon Rytmeister.
