Two of Australia’s Up and Coming Jazz Musicians, with a great love of Jazz and Improvised Music, have collaborated on a new chord-less project called TUCKERBOX.
Trombonist Josh Bennier and Trumpeter Tom Avegenicos met when they were both competing in the National Jazz Awards in 2017 and have released the debut album – DASCH on STATIC Records.
Their aim is to explore the textures available in a chord-less ensemble within the realm of contemporary jazz and improvisation, and the album features original compositions from members of the band, drawing upon the Australian history of chord-less ensembles. The chord-less approach provides an opportunity, as Tom says, to “Embrace The Space” left where the piano and guitar might otherwise have been.
A four-piece band with Melbourne drummer Luke Andressen and Sydney Bass player Jacques Emery, the project was named after the main tourist feature they found at the 1/2 way point in their drives between Sydney and Melbourne. Hear why the front cover of their debut album features a masked and caped daschund sitting atop the ‘Tuckerbox’ from Gundagai.
Josh Bennier and Tom Avgenicos were guests of Bent Notes on Sunday June 7, 2020
