Antipodes (NZ/AUS)
Tuesday 23 August 2022 from 8:30pm to 11pm
Fantastic food and drink served from 6:30pm. Drop-in before the gig!
With fiery solos, contagious grooves, and charming melodies, these extremely fine NZ and AUS musicians write inspiring jazz music that is as brilliantly artful as it is beautifully accessible.
The five-piece, who are back by popular demand, now on their seventh tour of Australia, are gathering all sorts of national accolades: such as guitarist Allardice, taking the 2017 NZ APRA jazz composition of the year award; pianist Sweeting, who was selected in the top three of the 2016 Freedman Jazz Finals at the Opera House; double bassist Botting, who was a grand finalist at the 2015 National Jazz Awards at Wangaratta Jazz Festival.
The ensemble’s most recent release ‘Good Winter’ was nominated for APRA New Zealand jazz album for the year.
Antipodes are:
Jake Baxendale – Alto sax
Callum Allardice – Guitar
Luke Sweeting – Piano
Tom Botting – Double bass
Tim Geldens – Drum kit
