03 Sessions - The Jac (WLG)
The Jac is back. New music from the award-winning octet. The band is reforming in 2021 to tour Aotearoa once again, with a follow-up album Walking Spirits.
The Jac: A Gathering/Walking Spirits Double Album Release.
Featuring material from The Jac's 2017 collaboration with Korean quartet Black String, plus a swathe of brand-new compositions, these albums represent a milestone in their sound.
Recorded at Roundhead Studios in Auckland, they are a beautifully-produced snapshot of a band at the height of its powers, showcasing their intricate and immersive compositions, tight ensemble playing and assertive, individual improvising voices.
The Jac’s song “Tūī”, from A Gathering, was awarded the APRA NZ Best Jazz Composition award in 2020.
Wellington jazz stalwarts Jake Baxendale, Chris Buckland (Saxophones), Callum Allardice (Guitar), Nick Tipping (Bass) and Shaun Anderson (Drums) are joined by the NZSO's Matthew Allison (Trombone) plus special guests Daniel Hayles (Piano) and Ben Hunt (Trumpet) for this special concert at Space Academy for the 03 Sessions.
With thanks to Creative New Zealand for their generous support.
