As pockets of new jazz scenes emerge around the world, it’s apparent that New Zealand’s bubbling microcosm in Wellington interprets the genre through a unique lens.
Led by Cory Champion, Clear Path Ensemble bottles the energy of that burgeoning movement and distils it into moody morsels of differing styles. The group riffs on jazz-fusion in the mode of Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Azymuth while folding elements of minimalism, ambient, techno and broken beat into their borderless, highly exploratory soundworld.
