A special ‘returning home’ concert from an exciting European jazz duo: pianist Alex Ventling is back after 10 years abroad with British drummer, Phelan Burgoyne, as they tour their new album, ‘THE VIEW’.
Originally from Auckland, Alex met Phelan during the European Jazz Masters program, the duo having showcased their music across Europe, Asia, and now New Zealand. The connection built over years of musical friendship is unmistakable in their subtle and mature interplay. The interweaving of piano and drums in the intimate duo setting opens the door to vast a sound world of possible colours and textures, giving the pair the freedom and space to explore and improvise together.
Expect a bold statement with European elegance – a refreshing addition to what we may know as ‘jazz’.
