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. Guest artists include saxophonist and flautist Bill Harrower and drummer David Jones, with further contributions from bass, percussion and accordion.
Reviews
brilliant ... the balance between the singer and the various instruments is impeccable and the recording consistent with Move's exalted standards.
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.
The Tabula Rasa album has impressed ... a broadish appeal ... good work
more delights from Move Records ... The guitars are great and Linda Cable is in good form!
a knockout ... love it!

More to explore
Just For The Record
Renowned jazz singer Linda Cable gathers moody ballads and up-tempo standards in a polished set that moves from cool and slinky to full swing.
Ya-de-ya
A laid-back nightclub scene, a smoothed-out jazz band, and Linda Cable’s strong voice pouring down like silver: this classic LP from the Melbourne jazz singer gathers seven original songs in that polished club mood.
Just A Dreamer
Linda Cable’s 1997 Move EP gathers five original songs in a jazz-vocal vein, led by the title track.
Barefoot in the Sky
Barefoot in the Sky fuses ancient and contemporary practice: rhythmic and melodic, organic and electronic, choral and tribal. It moves through enough moods for several albums, in a vein the artists call ambient space-world jazz.
Such a Sky
Such a Sky gathers live Salon performances from the Melbourne Recital Centre. Cellist Imogen Manins and pianist Tony Gould are joined by Slava Grigoryan, David Jones, Gian Slater, Riley Lee and Eugene Ughetti.
Seasons of Love
A jazz trio, string orchestra and guest soloists join vocalists Gian Slater and Eddie Perfect. Graeme Lyall’s rich arrangements refresh Great American Songbook standards and other stage and screen favourites.
