Tenderlonious - Africa/Brass Live

Sixty-four years after John Coltrane recorded the groundbreaking Africa/ Brass for Impulse! Tenderlonious honours the original recording while pushing it forward with a Coltrane-like fervour of his own. 

Africa/Brass Live was recorded at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival in October 2025, as part of Pique- nique's Take Two series. Each Take Two event begins with an uninterrupted, high-fidelity playback of a seminal album, heard as it was originally intended, followed by a live reinterpretation with full artistic freedom. 

It's an experiment into what happens when serious musicians immerse themselves in a work long enough to discover their own path through it.
