$25/15Guitarist Callum Allardice unveils a cinematic jazz experience with new album, 'Elementa'.
Award-winning New Zealand composer-guitarist Callum Allardice’s new album, Elementa, showcases his distinctive style of cinematic composition and dynamic jazz quartet interaction featuring Luke Sweeting on piano, Tom Botting on bass, and Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa on drums.
The album highlights Callum's signature sound, with folksy, song-like melodies supported by evocative harmony and fierce rhythmic energy. The music is driven by the precise yet organic interplay between guitar and piano, with agile melodies and lush harmonies that balance each other in subtle, effective ways.
Known for his evocative and complex jazz compositions, Callum has been honoured with the APRA Best Jazz Composition award three times for his works Sons of Thunder (2016), Deep Thought (2017), and Chungin (2019). His group, The Jac, won the Recorded Music NZ Best Jazz Artist award in 2020 for their album A Gathering. In 2022, Callum was named the inaugural jazz composer-in-residence at Te KÅÂÂ�kÄ« New Zealand School of Music.
