About the Event
This inventive Danish/Australian trio Number Junky from Perth have become known for combining exciting rhytms and odd-time signitures with lyrical melodies and lush harmonies. Led by International acclaimed Danish guitarist and composer Kristian Borring ("post-bop wizard"-Vintage Guitars) and the "hip and capbale" (Ivan Rod) rhythm section of Zac Grafton and Peter Evans, Number Junky portray earthiness and complexity in composition and improvisation with exciting and cutting-edge original jazz tunes and re-workings of standards.
Their latest offering, the album "Birak", is a nod to the seasons of the first nations "Noongar" people in WA. It was recorded on the back of the trio's last tour of the Eastern States and is praised for its memorable themes and great playing (Dingo Jazz) and education to tightly woven interplay (Rhythms Magazine).
Number Junky has also become known for their monthly residency in Perth at The Villa House Sessions, and for their numerous collaborations…
