Austin Salisbury Trio (WA) - "Outlines" Album Launch

“Exciting and accomplished young players who seem to have found kindred spirits in each other.” – Dingo Jazz

Austin Salisbury has been captivated by jazz music for the last decade, and there is seemingly no end in sight. The Perth-based pianist has led a steady stream of creative projects after graduating from the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2017 and becoming a staple of the WA jazz scene.

Inspired composing and remarkable playing can be heard on recordings from Melve (Take Care, 2019), Afro-Cuban inspired jazz project Mejadra (Mejadra, 2019), and the Austin Salisbury Trio (High Bebop Vol. 1, 2022 & Out West, 2023). High Bebop Vol. 1, the trio’s 3-track exploration of the music of Bud Powell, was featured online by the Australian jazz journal Dingo. Their latest album Outlines was released in August 2024 to critical acclaim, including a 4-star review in Dingo and a feature on ABC Jazz’ Jazztrack.

The Austin Salisbury Trio is set to embark on their first national tour in April 2025 to celebrate the release of Outlines. This tour marks an exciting milestone for the group, including their first-ever performance in Naarm/Melbourne, promising to bring their distinctive sound to new audiences across Australia.
