These musicians share a passion for stretching musical boundaries and their interplay in improvisation creates an adventurous combination of intricate melodies, rhythmic textures, and tonal variation in every performance. As a truly collaborative ensemble, each member contributes original works, resulting in an array of styles and influences that help to define the group in performance – leaving an indelible mark on audiences and proving that their artistry is as compelling as the vibrant jazz scene they proudly represent in Australia.
