From traditional jazz and soul, to esoteric experimentation, the breadth of styles showcased on Seven Wonders is testament to Australia’s deep understanding of jazz, soul and groove-led music’s roots. It’s a snapshot of a moment in time in which Australia’s players are moving from the confines of house parties and local clubs to claim their spot on the world stage. And they’re doing it thorough a deep, transcendent connection with audiences.

“Under the larger umbrella of soul music and improvisation there’s a searching for a greater feeling, a spiritual connection,” says Gould (Wondercore Island). “Music tries to fill that gap in human experience. The genres we’re trying to distil on Seven Wonders belong to spiritual musical traditions and there’s really strong fragments in each sub-genre on the record.”
