The Other Side of Tony Gould

The Other Side of Tony Gould gives a glimpse into the classical imagination of one of Australia’s most respected jazz musicians. Best known for his decades-long career as a pianist and improviser in the jazz world, Tony Gould has always moved freely between genres.

This recording reveals original compositions and interpretations that reflect his lifelong love of the great masters of the tradition. All works, with the exception of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, are Gould’s original compositions written over the past two decades. While much of the album was recorded on a Yamaha C7 at Move Records studio, Dreams of My Girl and Homage to Mahler were captured in live performance.

The Other Side of Tony Gould offers listeners an intimate portrait of a composer whose music grows from deep listening, heartfelt expression, and an abiding respect for tradition. It is both a revelation and a reminder that the “other side” of an artist often shines the brightest light on their full creative spirit.
