The Necks
Australia's best jazz band plays hypnotic improvisations.
Overview
Not only the best jazz band in Australia but internationally recognised as one of the foremost proponents of experimental music, the Necks are a national treasure.
For decades, they have been making music in the same format: hour-long, completely improvised sessions that start minimally before slowly building and morphing into complex and hypnotic jazz-influenced compositions. Part of the beauty is it's different every time, you never know what to expect.
With tracks that range from abstract through to groovy, the band's range and compositional flexibility results in music that is simultaneously lulling and intriguing, light and dark, and cinematic enough to score films, such as Aussie classic The Boys.
