He’s much more than just a great drummer: Allan Browne is a seminal figure in Australian jazz. He has perhaps its widest “comfort zone”: equally vibrant & creative in contexts that lesser musicians see as “opposing” forces: with banjo & tootling-clarinet in “trad”-land and in “avant, far-out-free” jazz territory. He’s a wonderful “modern mainstreamer” too, an intriguing poet & an occasional, deliciously quirky vocalist. His Drunken Boat project is one of his newer ventures.
