about

The recording is a documentation of jazz/improvisation music by Melbourne musicians in 2005 and will demonstrate what can be said to constitute a ‘Melbourne sound’.

The popular/art culture of each country is shaped by that country’s particular circumstances. In Australia, key elements affecting the jazz scene are, its distance from the main centres of jazz influence and its small population. Both these elements affect how musicians learn their craft.

The musicians on this CD have developed their skills in Melbourne and in many other countries, either specifically studying at an institution, completing workshops or performing. The underlying theme is that these musicians reside in Melbourne and that they are an important element in the style of the direction of music now and in the future of Melbourne, Australia.

The Edge of Today aims to identity a sample of the Melbourne jazz scene by mapping out the differing styles of jazz featuring five of the leading guitarist in Australia that reside in Melbourne. Most compositions are original and demonstrate the artistic, social and cultural diversity of each player.

In 2004 I asked five guitarist to be part of this recording project. They were picked because of their different musical backgrounds, influences, musical directions and the high quality of their performance.
