On April 30, two voices in Sydney’s contemporary jazz scene come together for a special double bill at The Vanguard, featuring ARIA Award-winning saxophonist-composer Jeremy Rose’s Infinity alongside rising star Sabine Tapia’s Koro.Reflecting International Jazz Day, this concert brings together two projects that celebrate jazz as a living, evolving art form.
Jeremy Rose – Infinity
Jeremy Rose’s Infinity sits within a new wave of artists blurring the lines between improvised music and ambient electronic forms. Across two critically acclaimed releases, including Infinity II, the group has developed a language of their own, creating music that unfolds as a continuous, immersive gesture.
“a meditative experience… mesmerizing” ★★★★, Downbeat
“a bold, adventurous journey… offering many rewards in terms of musicianship and sonic ambition” Jazzwise UK
For this performance, Infinity features Rose alongside keyboardist Zac Sandilands, drummer Gabriel Haslam (Manfredo Lament), and modular synthesist Ben Carey.
Drawing on influences from improvised minimalism, ambient electronic music and the exploratory traditions of artists such as The Necks, SML, and Floating Points collaboration with the LSO and Pharoah Sanders, Infinity invites audiences into a deep listening experience where time is stretched, refracted and reimagined.
Sabine Tapia – Koro
Koro, meaning “choir” in Tagalog, is a new, inventive seven-piece ensemble led by bassist, composer, and vocalist Sabine Tapia. Showcasing rich harmonic language and patiently shaped song forms, Koro features some of Sydney’s most exciting young musicians and improvisers, including Arlo Sim (vocals), Elise Nolte (vocals), Samantha Baxendale (vocals), Harley Coleman (guitar), Thomas Odell (piano), and Matt Simmonds (drums).
Through Koro explores the textural possibilities of multiple voices at the forefront of the ensemble’s sound. From this emerges a carefully balanced blend of contemporary jazz, folk, and ambient music, creating a sonic world of striking emotional depth.
