Exclusive to Festival of Voices: A Legendary Jazz Reunion

In 2015, two of Australia’s most revered musicians, Vince Jones and Paul Grabowsky, joined forces to create Provenance, an exquisite album of jazz-infused ballads. The album won Best Jazz Album at the 2016 ARIA Awards. Now, ten years later, they're celebrating their timeless collaboration with this special anniversary concert at Festival of Voices 2025. 

Vince Jones, a leading Australian jazz vocalist, is renowned for weaving emotional depth into every note, and his distinctive voice and trumpet playing have captivated audiences for generations. Paul Grabowsky, a pianist and composer of extraordinary talent, has received seventeen ARIA nominations and seven wins, cementing his place as one of Australia’s most influential jazz musicians. Their connection on stage is effortless—an unspoken musical conversation that transforms each song into something deeply personal and profound.

This performance will feature favourites from Provenance, including Oh My Love and We’ve Only Just Begun, as well as new material from their upcoming second album. Among these new works is Dear Julian (Assange), a poignant and timely composition that reflects their continued artistic evolution. It promises an evening of pure artistry, storytelling, and masterful musicianship.

Festival audiences have long embraced these two jazz greats, and this intimate performance promises to be a highlight of the 2025 program. As The Music Trust observed, "It is partially the seeming effortlessness with which these two musicians interact that makes it sound so damn good."

Another reviewer from Glam Adelaide noted, "The legendary Paul Grabowsky was in fine form as he combined his talents with those of the amazing Vince Jones." Another said, "Two giants of Australian jazz joined forces for a brief but diverse set."

Don’t miss this extraordinary reunion—an unforgettable night of music and brilliance. Book now and be part of history as Vince Jones and Paul Grabowsky bring Provenance back to life, ten years on.
