Gender euphoria and jazz with Elliot Lamb and entering the forest house with Jenny Mitchell
Jenny Mitchell recorded her fourth and latest album at a sprawling rural property in Wairarapa, a town in Aotearoa's North Island. Forest House captures the sounds (figurative and literal) of the landscape, along with the playfulness and musicality of her band.
Jenny is currently on tour with Kasey Chambers, before launching her own album in July. She joins Andy to reflect on a decade in music (she released her first album at 15) and how she builds her lush songs that meander from folk to country and beyond.
Trombonist, composer and bandleader Elliot Lamb's new album In My Own Little World captures small and joyful moments of gender euphoria—tracks like 5 O'Clock Shadow describe shaving for the first time, and Alone... is about finding their trans and non-binary community.
Elliot is on The Music Show to talk about the palette available to them when writing for an octet, and how their other musical projects - a trio and a big orchestra - stretch their musical chops in different ways.
Gigs:
Elliot Lamb plays with The JazzLab Orchestra the last Tuesday of each month (next one on 24th June). They've also got gigs at Brunswick Green on June 17th and will be guest artist at Space Jam at Cross St on June 29th.
Jenny Mitchell is currently on tour with Kasey Chambers (until June 15) before commencing her own album tour on July 12.
