Chasing the Moon features Kathy Bluff on lead vocals and violin, Paul Burjan on saxophone and flute and Peter Malone on guitar with the rhythm section consisting of John Conley on double bass and Tony Keep on drums. For the CD they are joined by Garry Steel on accordion and keyboards. All members are highly accomplished musicians with previous engagements including Galapagos Duck, ABC Sinfonia, Castanet Club, Edinburgh Festival, Adelaide Festival, Hey Ba Ba Re Bop, Happening Thang, Chain of Hearts, Hippos, Bushwhackers and Musica Viva. They bring this wealth of diverse experience to this project blending a variety of influences into the gypsy jazz genre. 

The group has featured at a number of jazz festivals in Australia including Wagga, Dubbo, Illawarra and Moruya and has twice won the people's choice award at Moruya Jazz Festival. A beautiful Django Reinhardt ballad sung in French as well as English by vocalist Kathy Bluff, features sumptuous vocals, lyrical guitar, sweet soprano saxophone with a touch of Ravel, all supported by some atmospheric accordion and a shimmer of Hollywood strings.  http://airit.org.au/airit/Chasing-the-Moon-Nuages.html
