About this album

Australia And All That Jazz Vol. 1 is a distinctive John Sangster album that blends cool jazz with field recording and score-like orchestration into a vivid Australian suite. Issued in 1971, it reflects Sangster’s ambition to treat landscape, wildlife and place as musical subjects, moving between composed passages and atmospheric textures. The track titles alone hint at the project’s scope, from dawn and desert imagery to urban scenes, but the album’s lasting appeal lies in the way it turns local environment into something cinematic and exploratory. It stands as one of the more unusual and imaginative Australian jazz releases of its era.
