Anton Delecca QUARTET

This project has been with me since 1999, when the original lineup — Mark Fitzgibbon (piano), Matt Clohesy (bass), and Dave Beck (drums) — released our debut album Flow (2001), performed at Bennetts Lane, the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, and recorded for the ABC.

A few years later I reformed the band with Will Poskitt (piano), Danny Farrugia (drums), and Jonathan Zion (bass). After Will’s passing in 2018, I chose to continue the group, with Marc Hannaford on piano, leading to the release of Lost City(Jazzhead, 2010).

Pianist Luke Howard later joined, bringing his unique voice to the band. With Luke, we recorded The Healer (Jazzhead, 2013), which won Best Jazz Album at the Age Music Victoria Genre Awards and was named in PBS FM’s Top 10 Albums of the Year.
