Event Details
The Freedman New Jazz series is produced by SIMA and supported by the Freedman Foundation and The Music Trust. Bass guitarist and Freedman Fellow Christopher Hale and virtuoso percussionist Minyoung Woo have been collaborating since 2012, developing a common rhythmic language that draws on ancient Korean shamanic drumming, original composition and improvisation. The result is a mode of rhythm that reaches deep into each player’s experience to create thrilling new music unique to this friendship. Joined by the highest calibre of improvising musicians in Australia, this concert presents the debut of a new suite of music that is mysterious, complex and beautiful.
“You know a show is special when the audience jumps to its collective feet as soon as the last note is played.. The intensity was sustained throughout this performance, making it one of 2014’s highlights.” – Jazzwise UK

“Ben Hauptmann is blessed with one of those restless imaginations that makes his music impossible to contain.” – Sydney Morning Herald
