Underwards - “Not Yet” single launch

Evoking places and experiences in nature through a rich blend of jazz and experimental music, with hints of folk and contemporary classical, Underwards is led by award-winning composer and trumpeter Ellen Kirkwood. Currently, the majority of Underwards’ works form part of Kirkwood’s PhD project, exploring respectful Indigenous-informed immersive connecting with and learning from Country.

At Eight O’Clock Sharp they will be launching “Not Yet”: a love song for a beautiful place in Wiradyuri Country, and a musing on Kirkwood’s reluctance to leave lookouts.

“Deeply sensitive, intellectually inquisitive, modern and of today. Underwards is breaking the jazz coma.”- Eric Pozza, Canberra Jazz Blog
