About this album

Australia And All That Jazz Vol. 2 is a sharply imaginative jazz statement from John Sangster, using Australian themes as springboards for composition rather than simple local colour. Issued in 1976, the album extends Sangster’s distinctive series with music that moves between playful invention and more reflective mood, drawing on the language of modern jazz while keeping a strong sense of place. Titles such as Landscape, With Wanderer Butterfly and Bush Walk, With Curlew hint at the work’s visual imagination, but the appeal lies in Sangster’s rhythmic confidence and melodic detail. It stands as one of the most characterful entries in Australian jazz of the era.
