Melbourne Jazz Co-op

Sydney percussionist/composer Laurence Pike returns to Melbourne to launch Prophecy – his third solo album. The opening set features Niran Dasika, a multi award-winning trumpeter and improvisor, known for his etherial, expressive trumpet playing and deeply evocative compositions, described as “ravishing” (Sydney Morning Herald) and “exquisite” (Australian Book Review). For the first set, Niran Dasika’s solo performances combine his virtuosic trumpet playing with synthesisers and live electronics to create immersive, beautiful soundscapes, all with a focus on his lyrical trumpet playing.
