The band has a strong focus on individual, group and textural improvisation combined with arranged and structured composition and aims to compose original music that is exciting, honest, adventurous and continually evolving.
The Reuben Lewis Quintet will be releasing their debut CD in early 2010 and features Reuben Lewis (Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn), Max Williams (Tenor Saxophone), Matthew Lustri (Guitar), Chris Pound (Bass) and Aidan Lowe (Drums).
Supernova
Supernova is a fabulous Canberra based trio comprised of flute, guitar and percussion, who are passionate about Brazilian music.
They formed in 2008 and are quickly making a name for themselves on the world music/jazz scene. Supernova uses modern tunes to propel the Bossa Nova genre into new and exciting directions, and pride themselves on re-inventing popular melodies.
Feel the breeze of the Brazilian Bossa Nova as you travel to Ipanema and Copacabana with Supernova’s harmonic blend of guitar, flute and percussion.
Nightless Lovers
Nightless Lovers, named eponymously after a Percy Mayfield tune, are a thinly veiled side project of Leo Joseph where he has decided to stray from using his usual Key Grip band moniker. That’s because Nightless Lovers are dedicated only to performing Percy Mayfield’s tunes the way he recorded them in the 1950s. You got it: Nightless Lovers - All Percy Mayfield, All The Time. In the Nightless Lovers, Tony Haley brings to new life Mayfield’s own evocative lyrics and vocals, the Gripping Stuff Horn Section recreates the superb horn lines of that genius Maxwell Davis (why bother trying to improve perfection?), and Leo Joseph on piano, Mitch Preston on drums and Phil Jenkins on bass hold the show down underneath.
