east-of-west-by-vanessa-van-dalsen-6

Storytelling spun over rich traditional rhythms.

ARIA-nominated trio East of West’s music draws from the rich cultural melting pot of the Balkan and Mediterranean regions, spicing it with a hint of contemporary European jazz.

Comprising Bosnian-born composer Goran Gajić on double bass, Philip Griffin on oud and laouto, and Malindi Morris on percussion, East of West explores the borderlands between genres through their intricate compositions and improvisations. Join them for a hometown launch of their latest album.

Where influences from the Balkans and Mediterranean meet jazz and contemporary classical… refined artistry.
