The Vampires

The Vampires play with wit, soulful melody and invention… Inspiration is another word for this combination – John Clare, SMH.

The Vampires brings together some of Sydney’s finest emerging jazz musicians in a group which has been performing together for the past three years, giving energetic and original performances of reggae infused jazz.

This performance is a great opportunity to hear inspired music from recently released debut album South Coasting. The music is informed directly by the diverse experiences of the band members in musical settings such as the Mike Nock Trio, Watussi, The Splinter Orchestra, as well as Rose’s recent studies in Oslo, Norway.

The sax and trumpet front line of Jeremy Rose and Nick Garbett, who recently relocated to the South Coast, form a natural musical partnership, as does the formidable and like minded rhythm section team of Mike Majkowski and Alex Masso.
