Vazesh perform long-form improvisations inspired by the Persian Radif and renowned Iranian tar player Hamed Sadeghi’s (Eishan Ensemble) music. Featuring Sadeghi alongside award-winning saxophonist-bass clarinettist Jeremy and bassist Lloyd Swanton (The Necks, the catholics), this is an exciting collaboration driven by an exploration of musical discovery.
With inspiration from Anouar Brahem, Dhafer Youssef, Spiritual Jazz, and The Necks, their music draws from many influences and yet sounds uniquely their own.
Vazesh is a fully improvised trio, a unique collaboration and their performances are inspired simultaneously by the vibe, audience, venue and elements around it. Their debut album captures the spontaneous composition of the group, something that is often difficult to replicate in a studio setting.
Bassist Lloyd Swanton is co-founder of one of the great cult bands of Australia, the piano trio The Necks. They have released 20 albums since 1986 and regularly perform throughout the world. They were the first band to receive the Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music at the 2019 Art Music Awards. Swanton appears on over ninety albums, including several ARIA Award winners, and has produced four ARIA Award winners by Bernie McGann.
Saxophonist-composer Jeremy Rose leads a multi-dimensional career spanning a dozen releases of original music with collaborative and solo projects…
