      • The Necks - Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Australia

        The Necks; Chris Abrahams, piano; Tony Buck, drums; Lloyd Swanton, bass; From unlikely beginnings as a band experimenting privately with no intention of ever performing in public, The Necks have gone on to achieve extraordinary worldwide acclaim for their unique music making. Now in their fourth decade of collaboration, the almost-telepathic rapport between the trio is one of the most compelling in live music. The Necks' live shows have been likened to an almost religious experience, conjuring a chemistry that defies description in orthodox terms. Performing off the back of Unfold, their most recent release and eighteenth as a band, this is an unmissable opportunity to experience one of this country's most iconic ensembles.

        After the success of her ensemble Amparanoia with Manu Chao and general praise for her first solo album, the Spanish diva is back with a new show and a new recording, 'Alma de Cantaora'. Amparo Sanchez's new songs reveal her rich sensibility, exploring its many facets. 'The Soul of a Singer' is an invitation to relish the small joys in life. The show, devised and rehearsed in the mountains of Catalonia, Barcelona and the Spanish Basque country, with a superb team of musicians, Spanish and Latin dancers from many horizons, tells the story of a simple life. Spirituality is at the heart of titles celebrating 'Abuela Margarita', a famous Colombian shaman. The arrangements are restrained and largely acoustic, emphasizing the intimate character of the texts. Amparo Sanchez celebrates the Spanish song repertoire with modesty and feeling, and successfully renews the genre. (62 min)
