JAZZ UPSTAIRS featuring 'FAUNA'

Featuring Australian jazz legend Jonathan Zwartz alongside major emerging talents Wilbur Whitta and Jack Rosenzweig, FAUNA emerges from the imagination of trumpeter-composer Alex Raupach onto the landscape of Australian improvised music with its debut tour in November 2024. 

Conceived as ‘a band of beautiful ears’, the musicians come together not just because of how they play, but how they hear. Raupach’s compositions form the backdrop, setting the course for a long, shared stream of consciousness that flows through a secret garden of wide minimalist spaces, intricate harmonic cascades, and pools of dreamlike improvisation.
