Jim Denley (alto saxophone) + Peter Farrar (alto saxophone)

Jim Denley and Peter Farrar are Sydney's premier improvising alto saxophonists. Jim has made an unwavering commitment since the 1970s to the development of a personal improvisational approach and vocabulary on flutes and alto saxophone that has no parallel in this country. Peter is also dedicated to exploring the sounds of his instrument in an improvising context, but also makes music with other objects and electronics, along with performing in more jazz related projects. Both extend the range of the saxophone through the use of mutes and other modifications of the instrument. Jim and Peter have performed together many times in various improvising groups, notably as long-term members of the Splinter Orchestra and recently in the trio Vents with Dale Gorfinkel. This will be one of the few times they have collaborated in an alto saxophone duet and it promises to be an engrossing meeting of two unique personal approaches to a common instrument.

An exploration of musical interplay, Waveteller plays music that draws heavily on rhythmic concepts and the elasticity of time. From fast paced energetic grooves, to open, vast melodies, musicians Michael Mear, Casey Golden and Ed Rodrigues share emotion and stories through their performance.

A regular on the Australian jazz scene, Waveteller has received high critical praise for their albums, earning acclaim from publications such as The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald. With high energy, engaging performances, Waveteller is a modern jazz trio not to be missed.
