about

Sydney based saxophonist & composer Sam Gill announces Perspectival, the debut album by his band Scattered.

Formed in 2014, Scattered is a unique meeting point of established and emerging musicians from Sydney’s creative music scene, featuring clarinetist Paul Cutlan, guitarist Yutaro Okuda, bassist Jacques Emery, and Luke Sweeting on accordion & piano.

The five tracks on Perspectival capture the band at an energetic creative peak. Recorded in late 2019, the album features a set of new compositions by Gill that draw inspiration from the worlds of jazz, chamber music & free improvisation. Each of the album’s five tracks presents a distinct musical narrative, with the band’s unconventional drummer-less line-up offering a fresh & compelling sound.

REVIEWS:

★★★★ "Gill's conception for his Scattered quintet slices through time and space to combine the freedom and complexity of now with an almost urbane salon aesthetic that could be a century old... the music, laden with a muted sense of disquiet, sounds as fresh as tomorrow."
- John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

★★★☆ "Perspectival [is] a subdued chamber jazz recording that merges rigor with indeterminacy, performed with consummate skill... [and a] palpable air of mystery that pervades the recording."
- Troy Dostert, All About Jazz
