Face To Face

Fourth quartet release from saxophonist-composer and Earshift Music label director Jeremy Rose, Face to Face is a reflection on the importance of real-life connections and features pianist Steve Barry, bassist Noel Mason, and drummer Alex Hirlian.

The album affirms his growing status as "one to watch on the Australian jazz scene" (Jazzwise), with a compelling collection of compositions that has a little something for everyone - emotionally, intellectually, and musically.

The band, featuring three of Sydney's best next-generation jazz artists including pianist Steve Barry, bassist Noel Mason, and drummer Alex Hirlian, add compelling individual statements to Rose's highly crafted compositions.

Jeremy Rose is at the forefront of an exciting wave of Australian jazz and adventurous music. He has performed throughout Australia, Europe, and the UK, including collaborations with Kurt Rosenwinkel and Lionel Loueke.

His numerous projects include the Vampires, the Earshift Orchestra, Vazesh, and Visions of Nar, as well as three albums with his quartet, Chiba, Sand Lines, and Within and Without.

As founder of the record label Earshift Music, Jeremy Rose has fostered a community of creative musicians throughout Australasia which NYC Jazz Records describes as "representing the future of Australian music... hell-bent on pushing the very definition of jazz."
