Transit (Jazz)

Introducing 'transit', an exciting collaboration of Australian Jazz musicians and the release of their highly anticipated self-titled debut CD. Recorded in Sydney, NSW in February 2010 at James Morrisons Studios, the band at the time of recording features Sydney musicians Con Campbell (tenor sax), Peter Kohlhoff (double bass), John Morrison (drums) alongside Melbournians Greg Ambroisine (trumpet) and Andy Vance (piano). This evocative collection of contemporary jazz arrangements of traditional Church music and Vance originals, captures the empathy between the outstanding frontliners, sensitively supported by a wonderfully cohesive rhythm section. Be engaged on a spiritual journey as you transit the styles and moods that reflect the past and anticipate the future. From the hard driving Baker Man and the funky O Worship the king to the deep intensity of Be Still and Crown Him with many Crowns, Campbell and Ambroisine lyrically transcend the many jazz colours portrayed here, from ballads and bop to the comtemporary. Sometimes music comes along that is a special event. Transit's debut recording is just such an event catch it !
