Van Morrison's Masterpieces: A Celebration Of One Of Rock Music's Greatest Performers Announced

When The Beatles moved to psychedelic rock and Dylan went electric, Van Morrison hired New York's finest jazz musicians and recorded two of the classic albums of that golden era - Astral Weeks and Moondance. Both albums had enormous impact on aspiring musicians and singers around the world. Vince Jones was one of those musicians.

Effortlessly blending genres from jazz to Celtic rock, Morrison is beloved the world over for enduring classics such as Gloria, Brown-Eyed Girl and Have I Told You Lately.

A remarkable interpreter, Vince Jones has invited a selection of the country's finest jazz and rock musicians to form The Astral Orchestra, led by Music Director Matt McMahon, to join him in this homage to two of Van's most acclaimed albums; the magical Astral Weeks - a poetic, mercurial blend of jazz, folk and blues - and the soul and jazz influenced Moondance.

Vince Jones has set the benchmark for Australian jazz vocalists and musicians across a 20 album international career, and his Celtic, jazz and blues influences provide the perfect blend for this reading of two of contemporary music's greatest works.
