First Kiwijahzz release of 2024, an epic programmatic work by Trioglodyte with Roger Manins and Kat Tomacruz.

Tales of a Master Mariner is a suite of music which follows the journey of a ship on a doomed voyage.

Inspired by, and dedicated to Captain Andrew Leachman and his wife Viv Leachman, the music imagines a voyage which begins calmly and ends in disaster, with the crew of the vessel travelling into a violent storm, drowning and being taken away by angels.

Kiwijahzz favourites Trioglodyte (Jeff Henderson, Chris O'Connor & Eamon Edmundsen-Wells) are joined by legendary NZ saxophone giant Roger Manins, and the talented guitarist/cellist Kat Tomacruz (heard on Jazz from the Underground Nightclubs of Aotearoa Vol. 2 & 6).

Best listened to as a seamless set, exactly how the music was performed and recorded.

Trioglodyte -
Jeff Henderson - alto, c soprano & baritone saxophones
Eamon Edmundsen-Wells - double bass
Chris O'Connor - drums

with

Roger Manins - tenor & sopranino saxophones
Kat Tomacruz - guitar & cello

recorded by Rohan Evans at the Wine Cellar, Tāmaki Makaurau on August 5, 2021.

Mixed & mastered by Jeff Henderson
