In September, the new CD titled "Simon Tedeschi and Ian Cooper Quintet" was released to critical acclaim.
"Primarily featuring jazz-based repertoire, the disc showcases the best of both their genres - classical and jazz. The Baroque chorale introduction to ‘All The Things You Are’ is inspired by the unsurpassed musical language of Bach. Ian’s specialty - gypsy jazz - is pushed to the fore with ‘Tchavolo Swing’ and the musicians pay homage to jazz greats in such pieces as ‘Round Midnight’ and ‘Body and Soul’." - John Shand, jazz critic for The Sydney Morning Herald and author of Jazz - The Australian Accent (UNSW Press)
