// LOOSE LEAF

Loose Leaf is an experimental jazz and free improvisation trio that creates music with a unique and uninhibited sense of freedom and trust. Led by saxophonist Andrew Saragossi and featuring two of Australia's most idiosyncratic and exciting improvisers Helen Svoboda (d.bass) & Canadian drummer Dylan van der Schyff, their music is a fusion of structured composition and free improvisation, exploring texture, melody, expression and spontaneity. Each member brings a deeply personal and adventurous approach to their instrument, employing extended techniques and textural improvisation to create a truly unique listening experience.  Loose Leaf's sound is a captivating blend of individual expression and collective exploration, cultivating moments of profound beauty, fierce intensity and pure ecstasy.
