Keller’s newest musical creation, Five Below, is a band of Australia’s finest rhythm section players. Featuring two bass players, guitar, piano & drums, Five Below reimagine a score of Keller compositions dating from 2002 to current – throwing the music into a new light through an intense process of deconstruction, exploration, and musical innovation.
Melding acoustic sounds with electronics, pedals & effects, the music of Five Below draws from an eclectic array of styles including doom, contemporary classical, minimalism and contemporary jazz, producing a unique and arresting voice in Australian jazz.
Recorded live at the Jazzlab in Melbourne, Five Below Live is the fourteenth release by Andrea Keller as leader, and is a taster of the impending studio album (due to be recorded in 2019 and featuring new works, plus special guests, saxophonists Julien Wilson & Scott McChonnachie)
