VOID is, without a doubt one of the hottest groups in contemporary Australian jazz. Their music stems from many sources including fusion, hip-hop and soul. Together they synthesize all these into an extraordinary delivery of speed, virtuosity, melody and seriously-phat groove that will excite your senses yet soothe your soul. Their products include a self titled CD and a live DVD, and VOID launched these at the Villa Celimontana Jazz Festival in Rome last year. Three of the four band members play alongside the fiery James Morrison as part of his "On The Edge" project, which has toured widely – from the Sydney Opera House in Australia to Europe and Russia.
2007 has already seen the band play the United States, where they were invited to showcase at the International Association of Jazz Educators Conference in New York. Here they played to an excited and packed room, and were acknowledged with an award for their immense contribution to the Conference. They now have a huge following in Miami, and, while on tour played jam-packed shows at Jazzid, Flavour and the University of Miami. TV wanted to know about them too, and so Great Day Houston included the band in a morning show to showcase them and to highlight their other jazz gigs in Houston, including great jazz venues such as The Red Cat.
The self-titled album from VOID was made feature album of the week in January 2007on Radioio, in the USA, and has also been playing online in over 80 countries.
Successive winners of the 2005 and 2006 Perth Jazz Society award for Most Outstanding Group, and the 2007 West Australian Music Industry Award for Best Original Jazz Act, Void's music was born out of an incredibly exciting long-term residency at the Llama Bar, Subiaco, Perth. Here, enthusiastic audiences packed the house every week and helped, if not inspired them to create a series of very selfless compositions - aimed at emotionally moving those who listened, and especially filling any 'void'.
From the remote coastal location of Perth, Western Australia comes the exciting VOID, a four-piece nu-jazz project with influences from The RH Factor, Weather Report, Joshua Redman's Elastic Band, The Pat Metheny Group, and Soullive.
