Dawn Is A Melody

Description

M. Bongo is proud to present the debut album by Finn Rees, born in Tasmania and based in Melbourne. Gliding on a swirling palette of saturated hues, Dawn Is A Melody feels both vintage and vibrant, new yet familiar at the same time. A spiritual, deep, and textured jazz record, it tips its hat to the greats of the past, capturing memories and reformulating them into new ideas with the help of some of Melbourne's finest talents. An expert player in groups like 30/70 and Elle Shimada, alongside half of Close Counters, this debut album marks Finn's conscious departure from groove-based jazz. Instead, Dawn Is A Melody places the piano and arrangements at the center stage, giving Finn and his Melbourne colleagues the freedom to explore the in-between spaces, new emotions, and alternative soundscapes.
