RockPoolMirror by Sandy Evans and friends
Composed and led by Sandy Evans, RockPoolMirror brings together 6 of Australia’s leading contemporary improvisers in a musical response to Belinda Webster’s stunning photographs of the Shoalhaven Gorge, NSW.
Belinda Webster is best known as the founding director of Tall Poppies records. Her images of rock formations and their reflections in still water at dawn exude a tranquil and peaceful ambience, but also venture into chasms and abysses, at times revealing surreal, lifelike rock warriors in bizarre symmetries of rock and water.
"The group's interplay in duets is as bright and smart as the leaders' compositions." Barry O'Sullivan, All About Jazz
