DRIFT is the creative output from Elly Blackham's honours research into the music of Paul Motian. It will feature original compositions that draw from Motian compositional and ensemble techniques, and the open-ended, collaborative performances from the Motian bands. The music will also draw more broadly from Blackham's influences such as Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek and the bebop lineage.
DRIFT will feature:
Elly Blackham - Tenor Saxophone
Christopher Rozakeas - Trombone
Jack Marken - Guitar
Jack Smythe - Double Bass
Pat Skarajew - Drums

Parts of Us are a duo of composers and improvisers who draw from folk sensibilities, lyricism and off-kilter aestheticism. Drawing from their jazz training and love of strange and beautiful music Ruby Glynn (vocals) and Adam Davidson (piano) place an emphasis on developing and evolving pieces as a single entity, discarding the roles of soloist and accompanist. Inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, Andrea Keller, Paul Bley and Norma Winstone their music is structural, making space for spontaneous composition bound by themes from the tune.
Parts of us are parts of you.
