Recorded and produced in Berlin over the course of two years, 'The Glider' is the first release from the new project of long time friends and collaborators Nick Garbett and Mike Majkowski.
The album followed Nick's 2018 Freedman Jazz Fellowship win, and subsequent relocation to Italy and captures a period of travel, discovery, and reconnection between old friends. The result is a meditation on colour, texture and rhythm, reminiscent of Jon Hassell and Brian Eno’s Fourth World and described as '... Berlin-y, but more elegant, with a lovely Turkish(?) thread running through it'.
With most of the project’s musicians still in Berlin, Nick Garbett has assembled an Australia-based lineup for the album’s release, with Matt Keegan (sax), Dave Rodriguez (guitar), Aykho Akhrif (percussion), Finn Ryan (drums) and Pat Harris (bass) all enlisted to bring The Glider to life on stage in Australia.
Leading Australian percussionist, Greg Sheehan will open the show (and join the band for some of their music).
This event is supported by Live Music Australia - an Australian Govt initiative.
Tickets: $25 ($20 members) - online sales only; note COVID-safety terms & conditions below.

“You find that a lot of jazz players in Australia practice out in the bush to get that sense of spice in their playing, and that's really reflected here. It's a very particular kind of Australian music in the way it's joyous and uplifting, as well as having a real elastic sensibility. I love the way this moves.'
