An ongoing project conceived of by Melbourne drummer/composer Ronny Ferella. Wayfinders is a completely improvising trio that allows all of the player’s musical experiences to influence the music at hand.
The Invisibles is the flip side of the same project, a trio that performs American jazz & roots repertoire in the most simplest fashion they can muster. In a way, the same thing is happening in both trios. This Jazzlab set will test the idea.
