Description
Garfish is the third album by World-Roots jazz group The Vampires. With a depth of improvised sophistication and world music cross-overs from Jamaica and South America, The Vampires have received both critical acclaim and an ability to make people dance.
Featuring compositions by saxophonist Jeremy Rose (2009 Bell Award Winner for Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year) and trumpeter Nick Garbett (National Jazz Award finalist), their music carries echoes of early jazz and the hay-day of bebop, to the searching nature of Ornette Coleman and John Zorn's Masada. Joining them are the powerful and dynamic rhythm section of double bassist Alex Boneham (James Morrison Prize) and drummer Alex Masso.
The album also sees the return of Chilean percussionist Fabian Hevia and trombonist Shannon Barnett.
The artwork for the album, "The Hunter" by Andre Blaise, is part of the Artworks for Haiti charity which uses profits to provide support for children of some of the villages in Haiti affected by the earthquake.
