The Anticlinal Fold is coming back to The Coolroom at the Northern Arts Hotel in Castlemaine on the 6th of December for another big evening of modern yuletide jazz and song, and this time, with another very important ingredient — Christmas spirit. Proceeds from the gig will be donated to the Asylum Seeker’s Resource Centre so come down and join a bunch of local jazz musos in supporting a great cause.
There will be the quartet’s usual complement of swinging standards and their own contemporary Jazz compositions. But the event will pivot around one particular piece of Yuletide genius that has been fascinating them for more than one festive season and that’s the “Carol of the Bells”, written by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914.
The band welcomes back Jo Huf to the fold. Jo is a Castlemaine-based singer and guitarist, and a Brazilian music wiz. Jo has featured in Triple J’s Unearthed and is making an impact everywhere she performs with her virtuosic skill and raw talent. Jem Challender on piano is the Anticlinal Fold’s MD and a past winner of the Australian Songwriters Competition.
The lineup boasts the remarkable talents of Bendigo-based double bassist, Ben Gibbons, known for his time with the folk band The Waifs, and the exceptional jazz drumming virtuoso, Arron Light, whose work with the band Husky has been shortlisted for an ARIA. Plus, there’s a huge list of special guests including violin star Thomasina Challender, tuba virtuoso Pip Avent, crooner and country singer Matt Colin plus many more. Expect some brand new Jazz compositions and some progressive jazz arrangements of the most swinging Christmas songs, and a lot of surprises besides.
