  • Description

    'Waves' is an ambitious project from bassist-composer Ross McHenry, an exploration of memory, history, and the impact of seismic personal and existential events. Crafted in the wake of Australia's devastating 2019 summer fires, 'Waves' stands as a poignant love letter to the landscapes and relationships that shape our stories. Recorded at the Bunker Studios in New York, the album features an impressive roster of musicians, including Eric Harland, Ben Monder, Donny McCaslin, Adam O'Farrill, and Matthew Sheens, lifting McHenry's celebrated compositional voice to unprecedented heights.

    Ross McHenry's global reputation is built on a foundation of fearless experimentalism and significant international collaborations. His work has been recognised with several prestigious awards, including the 2019 APRA AMCOS Art Music Award for Excellence in Jazz and the 2020 Arts South Australia Ruby Award for Best Work Outside a Festival.

    He's a multi-award-winning bassist and composer whose career has been characterized by boundary-pushing explorations in contemporary improvised music, chamber music, and beyond. With five solo albums to his name, McHenry is an Australian Music Centre Associate Artist and holds a PhD in jazz composition.
