Diving into his roots, young Auckland bassist Alex Keatley is excited to present ‘Sounds from the Motherland’.
‘Sounds from the Motherland’ is a project that aims to showcase and share some of the rich and vibrant jazz from South Africa. During his last year studying at Auckland University Alex has discovered his love for the style and compositions that come from all over South Africa. Taking inspiration from modern greats and legends in the past Alex and his band will be presenting a few of his own original compositions and showcasing some of the music he has discovered on this journey. Featuring Jenna Aspeling on Alto Saxophone, Toby Barrett on Tenor Saxophone, Iggy Palmero Epstein on Flute & Saxophone, Ryan Tomov on Piano, Finn McNeill on Drums & Alex Keatley on Double Bass.
