As part of the 2021 Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival, Pharos is an all-female ensemble consisting of a 6 piece horn section and 4 piece rhythm section. Formed by bassist Hannah James, Pharos features Australia's most progressive, innovative female improvisers exploring the limits of modern big-band jazz.
