BEYOND, BELOW, AND ABOVE:
Quickly emerging Naarm/Melbourne-based pianist, improviser, and composer Abi Lee brings her trio, Beyond, Below, and Above together. Lee's work encompasses jazz and free improvisation. Lee and her trio explore various sound environments Lee’s compositions convey. Blurring the roles of improvisers and composers, Lee’s compositions have strong influences from contemporary and modern improvised music practitioners such as Kris Davis, Ornette Coleman, Tony Malaby, and Tim Berne. Lee and her ensemble explore irregular metric patterns, bitonality, and dissonance, weaving in and out of free improvisation.

“I’m struck by her adventurous spirit, and fertile musical mind. There’s a wonderful sense of searching, courage, and a deep commitment and dedication to improvisation…” (Andrea Keller, 2024)

OPERATION: is a Naarm-based free improvisation group.
The operation is improvised and pre-prepared. It will be familiar and new. The operation is a space, and in it, a movement towards and away from music. Listen listen listen, music music music.
