OTHER FUTURES BIG BAND is about multi-disciplinary excellence and celebration of our individual and collective voices in new ways. In this episode, anticipate steaming and reverent swing alongside triumphant soul, dark and scenic textures, and dripped-out golden-age hip-hop cuts. We celebrate artistry with dignity, respect and above all, joy. We swing hard. We groove like humanity depends on it. Groove with us at Meow Nui this Wellington Jazz Festival!=========
OTHER FUTURES BIG BAND is where musical dreams come alive. It’s about the spark of true individuality, nestled in the art and community of ensemble. The thrill and drama of the showband era re-envisioned for our time. Selections that signify deeper meanings and secret codes. Turntablism sensibility on a symphonic scale. Streamlined, momentous, nimble, angular, adapting, shape-shifting, pulsating with relentless joy and emotion.
OTHER FUTURES BIG BAND is an ongoing project by Daniel Hayles that looks to honour elements of the big band tradition while platforming music and artists unexplored within the style. Expect to hear distinct flavour in new interpretations of original music from Aotearoa and the world.
