Guitarist Nashua Lee has been involved in many ensembles such as the 12 tone Diamonds, The Miles Davis Tribute, Murphy’s Law and a tour with Barney McAll’s MODAS ensemble in 2005. This ensemble is his first group in Melbourne as a band leader playing all original tunes, and has evolved through several configurations (such as a collective bass-less trio). The group originally focused on exploring different shapes and sounds, merging folk, free jazz, fusion and rhythmic devices to create spontaneous interactive dialogues. Combining Julien Wilson (tenor sax) and Sam Bates (drums), they have expanded their palette to include jazz compositions as well as originals by Lee and Wilson.
For this performance they will be joined by the incredible Sam Anning on Bass.

“Nashua LeeÂ’s electric guitar could either hook into the music’s seductive sway or skip across it in resonant, iridescent waves.”
