The New Thing 03/10/11 Track List & Albums

Here’s what albums were featured on The New Thing today and which tracks were played!

 

 

 

 

 

Origami – The Blues Of Joy

Adam Simmons, Howard Cairns and Anthony Baker have combined forces to form the Origami Trio. The reason for their name is that they view their music in a similar way to the Japanese art, starting from a simple beginning like a sheet of paper to create pieces of great complexity and beauty. An ethereal and spaced new era jazz album, very exciting.

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘Chimera’

‘Cheers Big Ears’

‘Morse Code’

 

 

 

 

 

Lee McAllistair – Spellbound

Much traveled Sydney vocalist Lee McAllistair has independently released a beautiful album of jazz, swing and bossa nova. With sweet vocals and charming lyrics, its a special first release from the Sydneysider.

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘Borneo’

‘The Odd Couple’
