Just as the estuary of a river is a point of meeting,
Estuary Three is an ensemble where the musicians merge
their personal experience and influences. From this fertile
ground grows a unique new style, peppered with hints
of the background soil from which it grew. Estuary Three
feature distinctive original compositions, exploiting
the relationship between jazz and tango, Argentina and
Melbourne, dance and music, past and present. The ensemble's
own tunes are juxtaposed with the traditional tangos
of Gardel, De Caro, and Rodriguez and more contemporary
works by the famous pioneer of ‘tango nuevo', Astor Piazzolla.
The musicians have a common interest in jazz, classical,
folk and European music. They share a fascination in
Argentinean culture and a fiery passion for tango. All
are exquisite improvisers and fierce innovators of music,
constantly exploring new terrain. |
| Dance has always been integral in the evolution of tango. Feature dancers
help to connect the audience with the vast tradition which grew around
tango. Being an improvised form, the dance is constantly interacting with
the music, thus evolving the tango to a new level when the dancers interpret
Estuary's original compositions and improvisations. It is a dazzling display
of dexterity, and an intriguing exploration of the artistic progress of
music. |

The guest vocalist captures the staunch
passion of the Spanish lyrics giving traditional songs a vibrant life of
their own. Audiences continue to be moved by the romance and passion of
Estuary Three's music and dance, in a performance which pays homage to
the heritage of Argentina and to contemporary Melbourne. The experience
is poignant, inspiring, and entertaining. |
