Jex Saarelaht Trio

Pianist/composer Jex Saarelaht is one of Melbourne’s distinctive contemporary jazz pianists, consistently honing his oeuvre over three decades (mostly in this long-running ensemble with acoustic bassist Philip Rex and drummer Niko Schäuble). With an emphasis on robust interaction, they will continue to explore Saarelaht’s distinctive original music, as well as jazz compositions by the likes of Jason Moran, Geri Allen, Herbie Nichols, Andrew Hill and Thelonious Monk.
