Way Out West album launch (Canberra)
August 10, 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST
$27 – $33
Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres is excited to be bringing experimental jazz ensemble Way Out West to Canberra as part of their national tour. Led by daring trumpeter/composer Peter Knight (Artistic Director of the Australian Art Orchestra), Way Out West’s latest, self-titled album features koto virtuoso, Satsuki Odamura and won the 2016 Age/Music Victoria ‘Jazz Album of the Year’ along with rave reviews including four and a half stars in The Australian.
Way Out West is at the vanguard of an important musical movement that engages with Australia’s place in Asia to produce a unique hybrid form of jazz. Their sound – which integrates, Asian, African, and jazz influences – has been described as “utterly unique” and has earned the band a loyal local following as well as invitations to play some of the largest music festivals in the world.
When: Thursday 10 August, 7.30pm to 9.30pm
Where: Main Hall, Ainslie Arts Centre
Tickets: $27 concession | $27 group 4+ | $33 full available online
