Jason Bruer: ‘The sax is the closest instrument to your soul after the human voice’

If you like highly nuanced contemporary jazz performed with energy and flair by one of Australia’s finest jazz ensembles then a Hammerhead is for you!

Jason Bruer: ‘Hammerhead is without doubt my muse’

“I don’t wait to be asked to join a band that plays a style that I am interested in – I just put one together myself. It’s extremely hard work keeping it all going but very rewarding at the same time.”

Album review: Mozaic (Hammerhead) by John Clare

When I listen to music that has an important place in history I sometimes gaze out the window and feel the here and now more intensely, while also feeling myself in the time when this particular style emerged. I do the same with Haydn, Ornette Coleman and the Beatles. I’m not sure why, but it makes you feel very alive.
