The band draw on varied and strong influences from Rock, Soul, Electronica and Funk but their music is "so original, they deserve a galaxy of stars and may yet cleave a path through the prevailing mediocrity for many others to follow." Sydney Morning Herald.

New Zealand born, Sydney-based Aron Ottignon is only 24, but "he has already developed a boldly original approach to composition and performance. Some of his tunes are built around strong melodic hooks that have the instant appeal of a cleverly constructed pop song. Others hang on the barest of harmonic pegs and are instead pinned to an insistent, pulsating rhythm (or series of rhythms). Silvery piano melodies, thumping bass riffs, rolling rhythms, and spiky, sometimes ferocious percussion breaks." Jessica Nichols, The Age.

'Ottignon is serving notice that he is, potentially at least, one of the finest pianists in jazz.' The Guardian - Stuart Nicholson - award-winning author of several best-selling books on jaz.

Aronas will be supporting Angelique Kidjo from 6-7pm.
