Prism
Tabula Rasa
Years in the making, the music on this debut album Prism blends thought-provoking lyrics with a strikingly original combination of classical, Celtic and jazz music with Spanish influences and Brazilian rhythms. This is the reason for the ensemble name 'Tabula Rasa' - it is starting with a musical clean slate, with the express aim of creating a new, vital sound hitherto unknown in Australia.
The core members of Tabula Rasa consist of the well-known jazz singer, Linda Cable and the astonishing flamenco guitar duo of Robert Bratetich and Mario Lattuada. An array of guest artists include saxophonist/flautist Bill Harrower and drummer extraordinaire David Jones. Press quotes:
“brilliant ... the balance between the singer and the various instruments is impeccable and the recording consistent with Move's exalted standards.”
— John Barns, 3MBS FM Libretto “a most attractive whole ... delightful soloing and ensemble work ... Cable's delivery is almost faultless in its reading of the varying emotions, empathy with the music and clarity of delivery ... pure pleasure.”— Michael Foster, Canberra Times “The Tabula Rasa album has impressed ... a broadish appeal ... good work”— Ross Williamson, The Pulse “more delights from Move Records ... The guitars are great and Linda Cable is in good form!”— Bobbie Ericson, 2WAY FM “a knockout ... love it!”— Paula Langlands, Jazz Made in Australia, ComRadSat Audio previews:

 Featured Artists:
London-born Linda Cable started her singing career in Australia singing the blues. Developing her own unique style, she is renowned in Australian jazz circles and has progressed into world class jazz singer. Her interpretation of up-tempo jazz or scintillating moody ballads is rare artistry indeed.
One of Australia’s finest session jazz musicians, Bill Harrower performs on all the saxophones, as well as occasionally on flute, piccolo and clarinet.
David Jones is one of the world's great drummer/percussionists and one of Australia's virtuoso musicians. He is taking the art of drumming and percussion to a new level. Wherever David travels throughout the world, audiences are blown away with his playing.
A virtuoso flamenco, classical and jazz guitarist, Mario Lattuada commenced playing classical guitar in his teens. His career includes playing with the Australian Pops Orchestra (of which he has been the principle guitarist since 1984), the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria.
Virtuoso jazz fusion and flamenco guitarist Robert Bratetich commenced playing guitar in his teens, initially influenced by rock and funk music. As Robert's interest in jazz fusion grew, he began to perform in a succession of acoustic guitar duos.
Consisting of a core ensemble of voice and two guitars, Tabula Rasa - meaning "clean slate" - combines classical, Celtic and jazz with Spanish flamenco and amazing Brazilian rhythms.
