The Australian Jazz and Groove Podcast is back with another season of fine Australian Jazz and Groove music. This Podcast is committed to bringing to the light some of the amazing composers we have in Australia in the jazz and jazz groove vein. This season we will endeavour to bring the latest releases from around the country. 

Episode #1 of season#2  features Melbourne based pianist and composer James Bowers who has just released his first full recording entitled  “My trio Album” It features James on Piano, bassist Marty Holoubek and Japanese drummer Shun Ishiwaka. Not only does he have this project but James has worked with Angus and Julia stone, Remi, Sex on Toast and Vaudeville Smash and as we listen top tracks off this recording you will hear this diversity in musical palate coming out in the music. 

We will also hear tracks from the Black Jesus Experience, Melbourne based ten piece band playing a danceable alloy of traditional Ethiopian song and 21st Century grooves. We then finish the episode with a track from Adelaide bassist ad composer Ross McHenry off his latest release “Nothing Remains Unchanged”.

Enjoy the music folks.
