Daniel Gassin Sextet – Daniel Gassin Sextet

Takadimi – New Common Sense

New Common Sense is the debut album from Sydney locals Takadimi. The quintet have created a Jazz/Folk sound with elements of Irish, Gypsy, Latin and Afro vibes – an eclectic mix that somehow pays off magnificently! An independent release from recent graduates, this album embodies the notion of why we should be excited about the future of Australian Jazz music. Awesome.
