Trombonist Kyle Chenoweth formed his quintet out of an exploration during his Honours year at the Victorian College of the Arts into how visual stimuli can inspire and shape musical ideas. The band released their debut album Perspectives, featuring Chenoweth’s original compositions, launched last November at The Jazzlab in Melbourne and has since taken the project to Adelaide (COMA), performed across Melbourne, and continued developing new collaborative and original work.
The group will present new compositions by Chenoweth alongside music from Perspectives, further expanding on the sound that defines the project, with a contemporary approach informed by artists such as Immanuel Wilkins and Barney McAll.
The quintet features Chenoweth alongside some of Melbourne’s most exciting emerging musicians: Oscar Bruten (tenor saxophone), Miro Lauritz (piano), Jack Smythe (double bass), and Miles Farnan (drums).
