Robert Burke has been playing with members of this group for over 20 years, resulting in a strong musical understanding within the ensemble. The style of jazz (originals and jazz standards) is a result of influences from their own cultural and social "backyard" to produce an innovative and importantly, an Australian style of improvised music.
About this track...
Pygmy Lullaby is a traditional African tune that I first heard being performed by Scandinavian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. A beautiful melody that suits the melodic nature of the ensemble.
