The Scornful Four

Active since: 2023

The Scornful Four is a multi-generational jazz quartet from Meanjin that features repertoire that is entrenched in the history of jazz with a uniquely Australian approach, evoking the incomparable vast landscapes and vistas of our home.

This group reveres the bleak counterpoints of the classic Mulligan-Baker Quartet, and the jazz hero-worship continues with nods to the legendary pianoless groups of Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane’s fiery 1960s ensembles. But the enigmatic beauty and undeniably Australian rasp of Bernie McGann, the intensity of Mark Simmonds and Scott Tinkler, and the genre-breaking excursions of Sandy Evans are the prevailing elemental sounds that drive the Scornful Four to bring you new explorations of the jazz vernacular. 

James McClure

South African trumpet player and composer James McClure presents his deeply personal Debut Album on Molk Records (27 February 2026). He is a powerful emerging voice within Amsterdam’s experimental music community, known for his mesmerising sound, patience and sensibility. This is a bold and introspective work that invites deep listening. It is rooted in emotion, free improvisation and progressive thought with traces of heritage, while the album is held together by a recurring lullaby written in response to violence and global unrest. It is a call for change, reflection and healing that feels ever more relevant and increasingly urgent.

Shmeisani Jazz Massive

Active since: 2025

Shmeisani Jazz Massive (SJM) is an Amman-based contemporary jazz collective featuring Azar (drums), John (bass), Omar (keys), and Archie (guitar).

The project brings together musicians shaped by decades of listening across jazz, groove, and experimental music, united through a shared commitment to collective improvisation. Their self-titled debut album was recorded during the group’s first sessions together, capturing the emergence of a musical language in real time.

Recorded in a basement studio in Shmeisani, one of Amman’s most distinctive artistic neighborhoods, the album is rooted in place, immediacy, and interaction. The result is a sound that moves between groove, atmosphere, and tension — contemporary jazz built on ensemble intuition rather than fixed structure.
