Graeme Steel

Leader of the group is a highly regarded trumpet player in most forms of jazz, from Traditional, Dixieland, Mainstream and Modern.

 

  Ron Anderson

Reeds - one of our finest saxophone (alto, tenor, soprano) and flute players. Ron will dazzle an audience with his amazing dexterity and versatility on each of his instruments

 

  Don Satin

Don has been around the Melbourne music scene for many years. He is the absolute master of the trombone, and spent two years recently with the New Melbourne Jazz Band.

 

  Don Lambert

Don has been involved with Graeme's band for over 50 years. They first worked together in 1953. Don's driving piano style is the backbone of the swinging rhythm section of the band.

 

 
John Fordham

John has been acknowledged as one of our finest ever drummers. Many might remember is stirring drum 'battles' at the Melbourne Town Hall with many of the top drummers. "Fordy", like a good 'red', just seems to get better with age.

 

 
Joe McConechy

Joe is the bass player's bass player. He has worked with just about every major jazz musician in Australia, including Graeme and Roger Bell, Bon and Len Barnard, Tom Baker, Frank Johnson and Frank Traynor.

     

 

The Graeme Steel All Stars has had many forms over the years, but none more 'swinging' than the current line-up. Each member of the group is well known and recognized as being right up near the top of the list of jazz players - not only at the present time, but for many years past.
