The music of contemporary jazz quintet New Sun is filled with optimism, sweeping arks of melody and harmony, to flourishes of groove and space. Rooted in jazz nostalgia, New Sun’s music intersects the history and groove of swing with the harmonic sophistication and nuances of contemporary jazz, classical and hip hop. The group introduces audiences to young contemporary jazz musicians, with Zac Sandilands on piano, Matthew Ling on bass, Jack Rosenzweig on drums, Justin Yeo on tenor saxophone, and Alexander Grace on trombone. Driven by the sincerity and honesty of melody, New Sun engages in improvised musical dialogue that reflects each member's personal voice and expression, ultimately creating a sound that is both accessible and thought provoking.
