“Becker’s playing is mature beyond his years – whilst his playing references the greats of the jazz tradition, he has managed to develop an original and mature approach – Paul Williamson

BEKTET is the brainchild of Melbourne-based saxophonist and composer Jared Becker. The ensemble traverses the energetic and dynamic music of modern jazz, whilst drawing heavily upon the spiritual music of modal improvisation in the release of their debut full-length album, Kinship.

The album is an expression of the intimacy that exists between band mates when creating music together, and the emotional world that musicians tap into when entering the shared space of improvisation. BEKTET is Jared Becker (tenor saxophone), Harry Tinney (guitar), Matt Steele (piano), Angus Radley (double bass), Lewis-Pierre Humbert (drums).
