All-Set! Presents (Southern Cross)

All-Set! Presents features music based around the trio of Mike Smith (electronics), Pete Johnston (bass) and Jake Oelrichs (drums). The music made in this monthly residency is largely improvised in a subtly-propulsive way that mixes jazz, minimalism and progressive rock. A rotating cast of guests drawn from the roster of Smith and Johnston’s recording imprint All-Set! Editions rounds out the core band each month, and every now and then new compositions appear in the mix. Musicworks says: “The music on All-Set! is unified by a stylish deliberate quality: every note placed just so, but with ample breathing room” (Nick Storring).
