Featuring guitarist James Sherlock and drummer Danny
Fischer, the trio weave their way through bluesy soul-jazz, blazing vigour and
soundtrack-esque territory. “I love the place where jazz and soul meet” says
Mason. “It has a simplicity that is so warm and welcoming combined with a
complexity that is exciting and makes you move”
Recorded on the east side of Melbourne, the trio captured
the moment in the tradition of the classic jazz recordings on labels such as
Prestige Records and Blue Note Records playing live in the room, using vintage
recording techniques and adding a pinch of modern inspiration. The result is a
dynamic sound that has space and transparency but with just the right amount of
grit and crunch. While this is the first official recording of the trio, Mason,
Sherlock and Fischer are no strangers, having played together for over 20 years
in many guises; Melbourne -- a melting pot for great music and culture.
