"This 6-7 piece brisbane based jazz-funk band is as fresh as it gets" - Jim Budd, Marketing and Development Officer for Jazz Queensland
"Andrew Ward from Jazz Queensland says stylistic emphases tend to vary from state to state. In Perth there is a preoccupation with harmony and in southeast Queensland a strong interest in rhythmic complexity and time due to percussionists Ken Edie, Grant Collins and the ensembles Babal, Dancing About Architecture and the Trevor Hart Trio." - Article on the Australian jazz scene, Courier Mail (June 24, 2006)

It all started with the ‘College Funk Ensemble’ – a rebellion against the typically narrow music curriculum back in high school days. Then came graduation, and the realisation that this music was just too much fun to give up on. So a new band was formed…
Dancing About Architecture cut its teeth with late night rooftop jam sessions in Brisbane’s West End. From there the band has continued to grow steadily, picking up extra players and added groove along the way. Years later, the band is now a 7-piece outfit, representing the enthusiastic youth of Brisbane’s jazz scene, playing all original jazz funk compositions…good fun music!
