HERE HEAR :: AUSTRA-SOUL TIANA KHASI :: MEGHALAYA :: It seems there is something in the water... That surrounds and runs through the sunshine state of Australia, including Brisbane, the home base of the loverly miss Tiana Khasi (say: Kah-see). The Brisbane-based artist is another product of the current thriving jazz/soul incubator in Australia, delivering a sound that is unique to her eclectic lineage, a colourful heritage threading back to the hills of India and the sands of Samoa, Tiana Khasi (say: Kah-see) is carefully carving her name – and voice – across the national stage. Soul singer, jazz musician, songwriter, performer - pick any of these and you’re only just scratching the surface. :: As a trained Jazz vocalist and member of the 7-piece Jazz-Hop band, Astro Travellers, Tiana is no stranger to variation, improvisation and/or collaboration... in the instance of her debut EP "MEGHALAYA" [7 songs. One song short of an LP? Is that still considered a Maxi-Single?] the 'collaborator' is Maestre DJ/Producer, Sampology whose sample based and beat-science rich, tracks form a perfectly organic feeling earth-bed for Tiana Khasi's heartfelt, soulful lyrics and vocal song-slinging. :: Another of the Alternative Soul-Jazz jinxes seemingly in abundance in the antipodes.  :: Welcome aboard, little sister. We're rooting for you out here! :: @TianaKhasi @Sampology @SoulHasNoTempo #Jazz #NotJazz #JazzNotJazz #JazzVox #JazzInBrisbane #JazzInAustralia #AustralianJazz #SoulJazzFusion #ModernJazz #PostModernJazz #JazzAtLeftOfCenter (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdezG0jTkD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19vdmxevalyq6

HEAR HERE :: THE COSMIC RANGE ALBUM: THE GRATITUDE PRINCIPLE :: Odds are, not many of us were looking to Toronto, Ontario, Canadiah [Oh. Canada] for a hard dose of "... an intoxicating swirl of ambient drones, hypnotic Afro-funk, synth-powered psychedelia, and drifting piano reveries". - as Pitchfork once described their the band's sound. At the same time, The Wire declared thatTHE COSMIC RANGE, "...makes bamboozling leaps back and forth between prog, krautrock, funk, Afrobeat and free jazz" :: THE NONSEMBLE will simply say... Bravo, to and for: As their debut album was hitting the shelves, Kieran Adams [Drums & Electronics], Jonathan Adjemian [Keys & Synths], Isla Craig [Vox & Fute], Matthew "Doc" Dunn [Organ, Bass, Vibes & Synths], Andy Haas [Saxophone & Electronics], Mike Smith [Keys & Bass], Maximilian Turnbull [Guitar, Wah-wah String Machine] and Brandon Valdivia [Percussion]. .
