The Brisbane International Jazz Festival is proud to present some of the hottest new jazz in Meanjin! Featuring TYDE, the Andrew Ball Quartet and another soon to be announced act.
TYDE
Brisbane fem-lead 8-piece TYDE have a truly genre-fluid sound, brandishing an intricate soundscape that ebbs and flows between jazz, prog, pop, funk, and folk. Combining percussive finger-style guitar riffs, funky bass and horn lines, and heavy prog moments for your head-banging pleasure, TYDE will get you both grooving and wondering what time signature you're dancing to.
Their repertoire calls to mind artists like The Cat Empire, Hiatus Kaiyote, Vera Blue, and Franz Ferdinand - their energetic live show seamlessly knits this broad range of sounds together.
ANDREW BALL QUARTET
The Andrew Ball Quartet fuses the spontaneity and interactiveness of improvised music with an uniquely structured and intricate approach to composition. By challenging norms, embracing weirdness, and foregrounding innovation, ABQ makes chamber music that grooves. Led by Ball on sax/electronics, the group shares a deep musical rapport, after their long-standing collaboration of more than a decade gigging, touring and recording with bands such as His Merry Men and Nomika. The quartet is a vehicle to “let loose” outside of their other established projects, and to put their own personality and spin on a modern electric small group sound, coalescing inspiration from artists such as Kneebody, Sungazer, Mark Giuliana, Donny McCaslin, David Binney, Nate Smith, Tigran Hamasyan and Snarky Puppy.
Doors at 6:30pm
