Recommendation from Mike Nock A gifted and original pianist/composer with his own harmonic language, Sean Wayland is one of the freshest voices to emerge from the current Australian jazz scene. With a strong background in both pop and classical music, Sean’ s spontaneity and freedom from cliche show a unique musical mind at work. Give a good listen also to Sean’s outstanding rhythm section, German drummer Jochen Rueckert and New Zealand bassist Matt Penman, who play with a supportive and unflagging rhythmic drive throughout. Currently based in New York, this trio represents the best of today’s emerging young jazz musicians, playing a creative, swinging music with an awareness of the past, while looking to the future.
