Doors 7:30pm
Set 1 @ 8pm - Jacques Emery
Set 2 @ 9pm - Underwards
JACQUES EMERY
The remarkably skilled and innovative young bassist Jacques Emery will be performing the first set. Jacques is in high demand for his beautiful and virtuosic playing, regularly performing with jazz luminaries such as Mike Nock, Simon Barker, Chloe Kim, Paul Cutlan and Zela Margossian. He recently released ARCO, an EP of original solo bass pieces, and will be performing some works off this album at Jetsets.
UNDERWARDS ('Delve' Single Launch)
The full moon through trees and mist. Towering majestic cliffs above a quiet rural valley. A calm river winding through a rocky landscape. A swim in a tidal ocean pool. A muddy swamp, teeming with life. The effects that being in nature has upon our senses and our minds, and the stories and memories that places hold. This is what Underwards makes music about.
Led by award-winning trumpeter and composer Ellen Kirkwood, Underwards features some of Sydney’s most exciting, versatile and characterful musicians. Their music, like nature, combines beauty, mystery, colour and rhythm, but also leans in to the ways humans experience nature; sometimes with wonder and joy, sometimes with awe or bewilderment, sometimes with melancholy. Their music is both composed and improvised, often blurring the line between the two.
'Delve' is the energetic first single and title track of Underwards' upcoming debut album, and will be launched at this gig!
Underwards are:
Ellen Kirkwood - trumpet
Hilary Geddes - guitar
Nick Henderson - electric bass, synth
Alex Inman-Hislop - drums

Jetsets is a weekly series on Tuesday nights, run by artist volunteers. We only take a very small amount of the door sales - the rest goes to the artists.
