GUSTO THE BODY SNATCHER "NICE TO SEE YOU"

Debut release from hard hitting jazz quartet Gusto the Bodysnatcher. Gusto draws influence from Australian artists such as Andrea Keller and Scott Tinkler, with a hint of the 'new-hip jazz' of american Christian Scott, and Swedish trio EST. It is through composed improvised music, with the composed sections creating the context for the improvisation that all members simultaneously contribute to. 2013 saw Gusto play throughout Melbourne at a variety of venues, from Bennett's Lane to the Arts Centre, with the odd stop off at a pub venue along the way. This EP was recorded in September and is a snapshot of the path they have placed themselves on. Funding from this EP will be going towards recording a full length album in mid 2014 that will provide a stepping stone for the group to tour the country with.
