Ian Chaplin:

 

Ian Chaplin is as well known for his contribution to jazz in this

country as he is for his ability to excite audiences both here and

overseas.

 

After moving to Melbourne in 1986, Chaplin became a household name

within the local jazz scene, performing with local legends Ted Vining,

Vince Jones, Paul Grabowsky, and a list of others too long to mention.

He has also performed and recorded with international artists such as

Nat Adderley, Dewey Redman, Eddie Henderson, Andrew Hill, Steve Lacy,

Albert Collins, Ed Schuller, George Coleman Jnr., and many others.

 

In 1990-1991, Chaplin traveled to New York on a scholarship to study

with saxophonists George Coleman and Dewey Redman. He also performed in

clubs with Nat Adderley and Dewey Redman, as well as recording with the

latter.

 

Chaplin's recording career is just as impressive. He has appeared on no

less than twenty albums and CDs, with the likes of Vince Jones, Paul

Grabowsky, Ted Vining trio, and the Australian Art Orchestra (where he

sat on the board of directors as the musician's representative), and was

also a founding member, as well as recording with his own groups.

 

In 1997, Chaplin's first solo album, 'Tjapangati,' received an Aria

nomination for best jazz album. In 1998, his second release, 'The Future

in Today,' was again nominated, and this time went one step further and

won the Aria for best jazz album.

 

Philip Rex has been a close musical associate and friend throughout this

period, being the bassist of choice for Chaplin, which led to the

formation of Decoy in 1994. This close musical relationship continues

today with Decoy's movement into the electronic music scene. Chaplin

still keeps one foot firmly planted in the jazz and Latin scenes whilst

moving forward into unknown territories.

 

 

Philip Rex

 

Philip Rex is one of Australia’s most in demand musicians, being a leading exponent of the Double Bass. Musicians and critics everywhere have noted his musical skill and versatility, both as an instrumentalist, band leader, and producer.

 

Having been firmly established in the Australian Jazz scene since he was seventeen, Philip has become a member of many of the country’s finest groups, and has toured extensively throughout Australia and around the world. He has studied with jazz legends Ray Brown and Eddie Gomez in the United States, and has performed or recorded in small group settings with international touring artists such as Johnny Griffin, Jimmy Cobb, Steve Lacy, Andrew Hill, Arthur Blythe, Vincent Herring, Louie Bellson, Joe Williams, Eddie Henderson, Cindy Blackman, John Stubblefield and Horace Tapscott.

 

Philip has made an impression as one of the truly versatile players of his instrument and, aside from his experience in the jazz field, plays regularly in Reggae, Tango, Funk, Brazilian, Cuban, and Electronic Dance acts. He is remarkable for his ability to adapt the seemingly cumbersome Double Bass into almost any style of music.

He is founder and co-producer of the Australian group Decoy, which combines contemporary dance grooves with elements of instrumental jazz and world musics. As a bass player, Philip has a natural instinct for improvisation and melody, and is particularly known for his strength of groove and sound on the instrument. In Decoy he comes into his own with an impressive array of effects, producing percussive synth-like lines and screaming acid tones which he contrasts with the natural resonance of the instrument.

 

Philip plays regularly with local legends Ian Chaplin, Bernie McGann, Dale Barlow, Scott Tinkler, Joe Chindamo, Mark Fitzgibbon, Nichaud Fitzgibbon, Doug DeVries, Rebecca Barnard and Ross Hannaford amongst others, and has spent time in Mark Simmons’ Freeboppers and the Vince Jones band. Philip is also a founding and current member of the Australian Art Orchestra.

 

In 1998 Philip shared an Aria win with close musical colleague Ian Chaplin for Best jazz Album.
