Toqui has new music coming out on Friday 11th of April'The Gentle Axe' - Single Launch
Toqui, led by pianist-composer Oscar France, is an 8-piece semi-acoustic ensemble that blends improvisation with intricate melodies. Their music features dark, horn-and-cello- laden arrangements, evoking vivid scenes of the natural world—from free-flowing current to fiery sunset Toqui’s inspiration blurs genres, seamlessly fusing jazz, bossa, and folk with elements of electronic music, all with a cinematic edge. Taking their audience on a sonic journey, Toqui has crafted a truly unique sound.
Following the success of their debut album Wire Owl (released May 2023) and its sold-out launch at Melbourne’s Jazz Lab, Toqui returns in April 2025 with the highly anticipated release of Gentle Axe. This new single expands their sound, weaving orchestral soundscapes with the raw energy of live jazz—offering a taste of their forthcoming album due later this year. Regulars at iconic venues such as Preston’s hidden gems Ragtime Tavern and Northcote’s Bar 303 Jass Hub, Toqui’s journey continues to unfold, providing a musical experience that’s as much felt as it is heard.
