Aunty Richard (SYD)
"Rock Urgency in Contemporary Jazz"
Aunty Richard brings together jazz, rock and electronic elements with a focus on composition and melody. The players are vibrant and assured, creating an edgy and engaging momentum. The tenor flutters, growls, blares and rasps; it shrieks in horror, bounces happily and cries with anguish. Hooks are shared between bass and sax and the drums solo explosively. “…big bulldozing riffs that threaten to flatten you as you listen.” (Sydney Morning Herald) “…the boys really do know what they’re doing.” (Music Feeds)
