emlyn christopher theodore johnson
Emlyn Christopher Theodore Johnson was born in 1986 in the kingdom of Saxony, in the town of Chemnitz. Both his parents were poor musicians, his father played the hautboy, his mother the harp. He himself, at the age of five, was already learning assiduously three different instruments. When he was eight he became an orphan, and at ten he began to earn his living by his art. For a long time he led a wandering life, playing in every kind of place – in taverns, at fairs, at country weddings, and at balls; at last he joined an orchestra, and rising steadily higher he became a conductor. He was no outstanding performer, but he had a thorough and genuine understanding of music. At the age of twenty-eight he migrated to Australia. He was invited there by a great nobleman who, though he could not bear music himself, kept an orchestra to gratify his love of display. Johnson spent several years in his house as a musical conductor and left him with empty hands. The nobleman had squandered his whole fortune; he first wanted to give a promissory note for his debts to Johnson, but later refused to give him even that – and ultimately never paid him a penny. Johnson was advised to leave the country, but he did not like to return home from Australia a beggar – from great Australia, that golden land of artists. So he decided to stay and try his fortune there.

Rebecca Barnard
“I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent, and this
is what I have devoted my life to” Luciano Pavarotti

90’s indie rock icon Rebecca Barnard hails from Aus jazz royalty – her late father and uncle
Len and Bob Barnard both pioneering legends of that scene.
After forty years as a beloved staple in the Australian music industry (Rebecca’s Empire,
Rockwiz etc) Rebecca has finally recorded her first Jazz Album “The Night We Called it a
Day”. The album is a culmination of years of Rebecca’s life in music – a resplendent arrival
in sunny pastures by one of Australia’s cultural treasures.
Rebecca effortlessly breathes soul and connectivity into this album of refreshingly under-
exposed jazz standards dating from 1937-1963. The production style is reminiscent of artists
such as Madeleine Peyroux and Melody Gardot, making the album more accessible to a
mainstream audience than the word ‘jazz’ might imply.
Produced and arranged by pianist/composer Monique diMattina, it features stunning
performances from the creme of the jazz/roots scene – Sam Lemann on guitar, Ben
Robertson on Bass, Paul Williamson on sax and Steve Grant on trumpet. Rebecca’s son
Harry O’Mara carries on the Barnard legacy, guesting on drums. Recorded by Pat Telfer at
Brian Brown Studios (VCA) and mixed by Shane O’Mara at Yikesville, this local production
has an international and ageless resonance for a broad audience of music lovers.
