   About Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra

The Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra (nominated as Australian Jazz Ensemble of the Year 2006, 2007 & 2009) is widely acknowledged as Australia’s leading jazz orchestra. The Mothership’s members have featured heavily in Australia’s top prizes over the last decade including 10 x National Jazz Award Finalists (including 3 winners), 4 x Freedman Fellows (including 2 winners), 2 x Australian Jazz Artist’s of the Year (Bell awards), James Morrison Scholarship Winners, a finalist in the International Thelonius Monk Trumpet Competition plus a finalist at the Hoolieart International Jazz Competition (Belgium).

Musically this ensemble represents many of the finest young improvisers Australia has to offer, and features original music from Sydney’s most dynamic and creative large ensemble composers all packaged into one exciting super-ensemble. The 2009 tour sees the orchestra collaborating with incredible Belgian trumpeter & composer, Bert Joris and US Jazz Legend, Charles Tolliver with the assistance of the Australia Council.

The music of the mothership can best be defined as exciting, dynamic and highly original with most of its youthful members (average age 28) being part of one of the world’s most innovative musician’s collective’s, Sydney’s Jazzgroove Association. The Orchestra has released two critically acclaimed CD’s ‘The Mothership plays the music of Mike Nock’ (2006) and ‘Dream Wheel’ (2007) and as individuals it’s members have released over 30 CD’s as bandleaders.

The Mothership gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Australia Council for the Arts, The Federal Governments Arts Advisory Body.

Hi there, just a last-minute note to let you know that the Munkle is playing at the underground wonderland that is Qirkz, this Thursday, 3rd September. We're supporting the inimitable Flap! from Melbourne. For those that don't know, Qirkz is an amazing new warehouse space, it's decked out with weird and wonderful trinkets, it's BYO and it's family-friendly... visit qirkz.com for more info. Hope you can make it!
