Album Description

Transients is a community of musicians assembled by Australian pianist/composer Andrea Keller that has been evolving since January 2016. Musicians whose musical voices and friendships she values deeply. The trios bleed, there are double ups and unusual configurations, and at times they expand beyond the trio. They all bring to the fore a unique sound, energy and collective dynamic. Reflecting all the things Andrea treasures about jazz and improvised music, they are collaborative, supportive, generous, intimate, carefree, adventurous, unpredictable. True to their name, over the years the formations have ebbed and flowed on an organically unfolding journey. Transients volumes 1 & 2, released in 2019, captured the collaborations that occurred between 2016-2019. Transients volumes 3 & 4 feature collaborations that have developed between 2020-2024. Subtitled For Sorrow and For Joy, Transients volumes 3 & 4 celebrates a diverse range of music-making, from free play to simple song and features an astounding group of Australian creative musicians selected by Andrea. The two days in the studio yielded three-and-a-half hours of music, so what you are hearing on these releases is a highly condensed version of what was captured. It has been curated by Andrea and is best listened to in order, both albums back to back. The albums also stand independently.
