Vicissitudes

2017 JAZZ ARTIST OF THE YEAR finalist

Composed for jazz and classical piano trios, Vicissitudes was composed around a set of variations to explore the differences that NZTrio and Mike Nock Trio would bring to the material.

Intended as a way to offer something positive to the people of Christchurch in the wake of the devastating earthquake in 2011, "Vicissitudes" combines the disparate worlds of jazz and classical music to show the strength of the human spirit when faced with seemingly overwhelming obstacles.

NZTRIO
Justine Cormack (violin), Ashley Brown (cello), Sarah Watkins (piano)

Produced by Mike Nock, recorded by Bob Scott with assistance from Ross Ahern, designed by UnkleFranc, printed by Studio Q
