Scattered is an improvising quintet led by saxophonist and composer Sam Gill. The group’s music draws inspiration equally from the worlds of chamber music and free improvisation, creating evocative multi-part compositions with a large dose of improvisational freedom.
This will be the band's first north shore performance after a number of recent gigs at Sydney venues including Foundry616, Johnston Street Jazz, Colbourne Avenue and Bohemian Grove.

Mind On Fire is a duo project featuring brothers Brad and Sam Gill. Their music draws on exploratory approaches to composition and improvisation, often blurring the line between the two in their compelling and dynamic performances. Their music centres around their core duo as well as a rotating pool of guest musicians, including tonight's guest percussionist Chloe Kim.
In late 2017, Mind on Fire released their debut self-produced album 'The Process of Unbecoming', featuring three pieces each by Brad and Sam centred around their core duo and also featuring a number of additional guest performers including Holly Conner, Daniel Herscovitch, Novak Manojlovic and Mary Rapp. The album can be heard online at
