BLOW (Melbourne)

Their intensity and explosive force are legend – Sydney Morning Herald.

Melbourne sextet BLOW’S artistic vision is limitless and ever evolving, with a creative direction inspired by the moment, the venue, the audience, the mood and the empathy shared by the members of the ensemble. Exceptional improvisers, the band’s fresh and vibrant music has won it a place at the forefront of Australian Jazz for the past two decades.

Co-led by Ted Vining, a drum colossus and cultural force for over half a century and avant-garde instrumentalist and composer Peter Harper, the band have released a brilliant new album, Blue Sun Red Moon on Birdland.

Take a core sample of the jazz strata and BLOW is an assured and intoxicating distillation of many of its layers. This CD is a celebration of a shared passion and conviction; its wordless songs of joy are anthems to the human spirit and the collective experience of creating music in the moment – Gerry Koster, Jazz uplate, ABC Classic FM.
