He has played professionally since age 16 and reached prominence in the 1980s in the band "Sweet Atmosphere" co-led with Australian violinist George Washingmachine, playing repertoire of the 1930s and 1940s in the style associated with Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and their group the well-known Quintette du Hot Club de France. He is also an accomplished electric jazz guitarist in the style associated with Charlie Christian and his successors, as well as featuring plectrum banjo, trumpet, and vocals in concert and on recordings. He has also collaborated on recordings with violinist Ian Cooper, with his brother Nigel Date as part of the ''Date Brothers'', and with George Golla, Tommy Emmanuel and the harmonica player Brendan Power, among others. He has written music for TV and film, appeared on television, radio and theatre and played on more than 70 albums. Since 2002 Ian has been based in County Cork, Ireland, from which he tours in Europe and also on regular return visits to Australia.
==Biography==
Ian Date grew up in Byron Bay, a coastal town in northern New South Wales, Australia, later moving to Macksville, a small town halfway between Sydney and Brisbane. His mother was a classically trained pianist and his first instrument was the ukelele and later the guitar. He played with high school bands at age 14 and at age 16, left school to play music professionally and never went back. He became a part of the Sydney jazz scene from the 1970s to the early 2000s where he played in numerous jazz ensembles including the Conway Brothers' 'Hiccups' Orchestra with Jim and Mic Conway, also including his future sparring partner the violinist George Washingmachine; in a long lasting band with George Washingmachine called 'Sweet Atmosphere' (an English transliteration of the famous composition 'Douce Ambience' by the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, from whom Ian took much inspiration); and other collaborations with Tom Baker (trumpet), and Ian Cooper (violin) among others. He has appeared on many recordings with other artists including George Golla, Tommy Emmanuel and the harmonica player Brendan Power, and currently performs as part of 'The Date Brothers' with his brother Nigel when he is in Australia. Since 2002 he has been resident in County Cork, Ireland where he lives with his wife Ilse, a classical cellist, and their two children, and tours within Ireland, Europe and further afield including at least one return visit to Australia each year. Ian's acoustic guitar (and occasional banjo) repertoire is based firmly on music of the jazz era from the 1920s onwards, with a particular affinity for the virtuoso gypsy jazz style developed by Django Reinhart, with excursions to 1950s material and later, and also to elements of classical guitar and world music genres; when playing electric jazz guitar he favours a bebop style owing its origins to the playing of Charlie Christian, Barney Kessel and their successors. In concert, Ian also features his own vocals and trumpet playing, the latter developed mostly over the last 10 years or so.,
