Description:

What if Alice Coltrane and Artur Velokai met? Tasmanian born and Melbourne based jazzy masterpiece '24! Bongo! His previous work has been more groovy neo-soul and breakbeats, but this album marks a shift to a more soundscape-oriented style. The album features jazzy keys and flowing strings backed by the most comfortable grooves of Melbourne's elite music scene. The intention was to create a microcosm of color. Something rich and beautiful, where melody and music can reach their full potential. It is driven by hope, curiosity, and the search for beauty and security in this ever-changing world.The emotion behind this music has to do with the very journey of life, growth and change, and the natural landscape of Tasmania where I grew up, which is an incredibly unique and beautiful part of the world," said Finn Rees. Finn Leeds features a solid rhythm section of Lucky Pereira (drums), Blakely McLean Davies (bass), and the Melbourne scene's finest, including Cheryl Durongpitikul (tenor sax), Siwei Wong (harp), Audrey Powne (trumpet), and Allysha Joy (vo). Henry Jenkins recorded and mixed the album, and his minimalist vintage microphone set-up lends a live feel and warmth to the arrangements.
