Australian born musicians Jody Sternberg (Voice, Sax) and David Lewis (Trumpet, Piano) have lived in France for some years and spoke with David Moyle and Chelsea Wilson on Bent Notes when they visited the JOY 94.9 studios recently as they commenced their 2024 Aussie tour. Jody recalled her journey from Australia where she played sax in her primary school band, to Japan where she was discoverd by an American blues pianist who advised her to audition to study at the Berklee College, before moving to America to do just that!  Jody finally settled in France where she discovered that her voice would be her primary instrument.  David recalled his opportunity to study in Europe included Sweden, before settling in France.  Both recalled the joy of studying and performing with the major players of the day. Jody and David will perform during their Aussie tour in Perth (The Ellington Jazz Club), Sydney (Camelot Lounge, August 8), Hobart (MONA, August 19), Melbourne (Beleura House August 23, and The Jazzlab August 24) before returning to France.
