This soulful and versatile saxophonist is renowned for his hard-hitting, swinging brand of jazz. Stylistically he draws influence from the likes of Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson and Cannonball Adderley, to name a few.

Carl has shared the stage with heavyweights such as George Garzone, Ari Hoenig, Terell Stafford and Lionel Hampton, and a long list of support performances include John Scofield, James Brown, Harry Connick Jnr and Ray Charles. Back on home soil, he can be heard in prominent groups such as fusion/funk outfit Sly, Speedball, MOE (Memory of Elements) and the Paul Grabowsky Sextet.

His career highlights include being a finalist for the prestigious Freedman Fellowship in 2007, performing at the Villa Celimontana Festival in Rome (2006), performing at Ronnie Scott's in London (2012) as well as his many tours to New York, Europe, India, Cambodia and many more. After decades of being a prolific recording artist as a sideman, he finally delivered his first, eagerly awaited offering as a leader, "11:11" by his quartet featuring the talents of Sam Anning, Tom O'Halloran, Pete Jeavons and Ben Vanderwal to much acclaim.

This in demand saxophonist can be heard frequently gracing the stages of Perth with the scene's best, as well as lecturing at the highly regarded West Australian Academy of Performing Arts.
