Putting New Zealand music on the global stage.
Despite 50 years age difference, Kim and Alex grew a bond through their common appreciation towards improvising and the jazz tradition. On regular visits to Kim’s house in Red Beach, the two would listen to records, discuss music, philosophise, and play together. These visits first began 10 years ago and formed a lasting friendship. This album is a snapshot of the musical conversations recorded in Kim’s home during summer 2023, of moments the two felt free to listen, connect and create.
