The saxophonist leads his quintet in a set of his own gnarly original compositions. With a band comprising pianist Lewis Porter, guitarist Jack DeSalvo, bassist Francois Grillot, and drummer Enrique Haneine. The music by these creative and great jazz musicians is very dynamic and expressive. They are using huge range of different musical expressions, twisting together various playing styles and playing techniques. Outstanding and impressive solos, passionate and vivacious improvisations, rigorous, loud and powerful blow outs, dynamic rhythmic and synthesis with various music styles – all these elements are the main part of the compositions. The music by these great jazz masters is based on avant-garde and experimental jazz, free improvisation, bebop, post-bop, neo-bop and other contemporary and modern jazz styles intonations. Their music always has expressive and extraordinary sound.

By way of California comes the romantic post punk of Kelsey Kerrigan. Releasing her highly anticipated debut album Primary Colours, Kerrigan curates the collision of sweet and vulnerable musicianship with gritty and fearsome songwriting. The twelve track record harbours some real treasures, personal favourites include So What, Good Times and Make it Rain. Kerrigan is on the same playing field as Aussie greats Ali Barter, Jack River and Gretta Ray, a bright and powerful female voice. The album is one of diversity and although Kerrigan is from the States, she brings an honest and down-to-earth tone to her music which is achingly familiar, an artist we would gladly listen to over and over because she feels like home. On each track, Primary Colours dives into new corners of Kerrigan’s sound with expansive sonic plains and a genuinely cathartic intent.
