On Transforming Perceptions this Saturday (Aug 29) at 2:00pm, Aine is in conversation with Tilly Street, Jazz Vocalist and Composer – Life, The Universe and an Album Launch – ‘All At Sea’.

Áine chats with the lovely Sydney-based vocalist and composer Tilly Street about the making of her debut album ‘All At Sea’. Featuring covers and original songs written by Tilly, or by Tilly in collaboration with extraordinary musicians and band members Max Alduca, Andrew Scott and partner Arthur Washington - it is the achievement of her lifetime.

The recording of the album was set amidst the sad and sudden loss of a long-term friend and talented musician, performer and saxophonist, which had the band working to channel their grief into music creation. Tilly said that at times it felt trippy to be recording an album whilst still in the early stages of that raw grief of losing a dear and valued friend. It’s a reminder that we should check in on our friends and colleagues and make sure they are doing okay.

Tilly has been singing since she was a child, enjoying learning piano and guitar and finally falling in love with the Brazilian rhythms of Jobim and songs from the great American songbook with female singers like Carmen Rae and Sarah Vaughan. Her Jazz journey evolved when she met her partner Arthur and became more immersed in the Sydney Jazz scene. Since then she has gone from strength-to-strength performing around the country with the fantastic Pocket Trio and now, launching her first album.
