KINETIC JAZZ ORCHESTRA

Formed as a ‘Composers Orchestra’, this versatile 18-piece musical organism has developed a unique body-of-work with a distinct dynamism and feel. The band’s main focus is on the creation of original work, while nurturing the individual talents and affinities of each member. 

The band explores improvisational structures, texture and color, narratives, complex rhythm and time layering. This has taken their playing to levels of deep listening, intricate ensemble work and virtuoso soloing. And they’re not afraid to take the audience along to zones of great beauty and joyful liberation. Now into it’s fifth year, the Orchestra has truly established itself as a Force Majeure in the Sydney music scene.

For this evening at The Foundry The Kinetic Jazz Orchestra will dust off a different set of irresistible pieces from their Mike Gibbs and Gil Evans repertoire. As well as a selection of gems from their own body-of-work, along with new compositions.
