About

Mark

Mark Morand - Melbourne-based jazz guitarist, composer, producer and band leader.  His epic flagship production 32 Bars speaks to his purposeful drive to create innovative, engaging and highly entertaining original music with broad appeal.  His many other productions demonstrate a determination to exceed expectations and give music lovers what they love - uncompromising great music.

Our Projects

From solo guitar through to the 9-piece 32 Bars show band, Mark brings the right music to any venue or event, including four composer tribute shows; jazz duo, trio & quartet; three major collaborative events, a very special collaboration with vocalists Sarah Maclaine and Jennifer Salisbury - and more.

Our Vocalists

Our vocalists are key to the success of our many productions.
 
Jennifer Salisbury is a composer and singer without comparison in Australia. Her voice "sparkles like antique diamonds, clear and true". Jennifer appears in most of our shows.

Susy Hull is a foundational part of 32 Bars, as both a vocalist and member of its driving horn section.  Susy also brings her distinctive vocal style to life in "Summertime - Susy Hull sings Gershwin" - delivering Gershwin's greatest hits while seamlessly slipping between saxophone, flute, piano and washboard, and is a feature musician in "Red Hot".

Yvette Hearn brings her sensational voice to 32 Bars, and is the star of "Over the Rainbow - Yvette Hearn sings Harold Arlen".

Jennifer, Susy and Yvette also all star in our blockbuster show, "The Great Composers".

Our Musicians
