Mister Ott meets Ms G’s The Planet Nines at Lazybones! And I’m playing in both bands!
Acclaimed saxophonist Matthew Ottignon fronts Sydney outfit Mister Ott, merging mesmerising Eastern sounds, tasty horn melodies, tight and popping jazz/funk and hypnotic grooves that drift on the edge of psychedelica.
Matt Ottignon – Tenor + Baritone Sax, Ellen Kirkwood - Trumpet, Ben Panucci - Guitar, Daniel Pliner - Keys, Dave Symes - Bass, Carlos Adura - Drums
Tamil-Australian songstress Ms. G and her band, The Planet Nines, fuse jazz, blues, neo-soul and Dravidian rhythm to explore love, displacement, and colonial legacy. Her politically-infused lyricism and haunting melodies create a genre-bending new world where sci-fi sonics meld into new pop poetics. Her debut album albumX, produced by ARIA-winner Emily-Rose Sarkova and recorded with some of Australia’s best jazz talent, is due for release in 2026.
Magickal Ms. G (Vocals), Sean Valenzuela (Keys), Dave Quinn (Bass), Alex Inman-Hislop (Drums), Ellen Kirkwood (Trumpet), Mel Mony (Alto Sax), Matt Ottignon (Tenor & Bari).
