Description
Sam Anning, local Melbourne jazz bassist and composer has released his latest album, ‘Across A Field As Vast As One’. It includes a set of original tunes, written for his sextet of long-time collaborators. Recorded with long time collaborators trumpeter Mat Jodrell, saxophonists Julien Wilson and Carl Mackey, pianist Andrea Keller, and drummer Danny Fischer, the eight-track collection draws inspiration and ideas from lost friends, Balkan women singers, volcanic lakes, taxi conversations and aircraft wreckage gleaming in a field of sunflowers. Anning in his compositions pulls great emotion out of these disparate experiences, creating an album of great beauty that avoids the trap of complexity to focus on the emotional.
