THE NECKS LIVE AT THE PURCELL ROOM

Listen to all the music from their wonderful concert at this year's London Jazz Festival. BBC Radio Three link here. One of Australia's most compelling cultural enterprises, this piano, bass, and keyboards trio have generated an enormous cult following with an irresistible hypnotic mixture of ambient sound washes, shifting rhythms and psychedelic mood swings. They produce a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few parallels or rivals. They are three musicians seizing the moment, communicating with a fierce energy and warmth - the music is a thrilling emotional journey into unknown territory.

"Like seeing a world in a grain of sand, The Necks permit us to hear a whole new world of music in a sliver of sound", The Guardian.
