about

"This is such a good album that it's difficult to know which superlatives to start with.... This is state-of-the-art modern jazz at the highest level" Eric Myers, The Australian (4 1/2 stars)

"Not only is the composing and improvising exceptional, it’s the Vampires’ best-recorded album, too."
"…carrying faint (and thrilling) echoes of the Art Ensemble of Chicago." John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald 4 stars

“simpler nature, yet equally expressive soundscapes… reminiscent of the fusion 'milestone' Bitches Brew.” Freidrich Kunzman, All About Jazz 4 stars

Two years on from their highly praised work The Vampires Meet Lionel Loueke, The Vampires return with a new offering: Pacifica.

Whilst Pacifica sees the Vampires return to the classic chord-less quartet format, the new album is an evolution of the band's sound, leaning further into recording production. Fourteen new tracks feature the band’s primary compositional voices of saxophonist Jeremy Rose and trumpeter Nick Garbett, whilst adding tracks for the first time by bassist Alex Boneham and drummer Alex Masso.

With the band now living in different parts of the world - Alex Boneham is an established presence in Los Angeles whilst Nick Garbett lives in Lampedusa, Italy, Pacifica is as much a celebration of the band coming together as it is about their deep, long-standing musical kinship.

about

The Vampires Sydney, Australia

Together since 2005, The Vampires have forged their sound from their travels and musical lives in jazz, improvisation free- diving and the vibrant cultural bleed. The compositions have always been postcards to other Vampires from wherever they were, but have gradually shifted from the early jazz soloing into longer stretches building texture and tone, buoyed on irresistible riffs. ... more
