Divergence with Chelsea McBride at Sydney International Women's Jazz Festival

Direct from the Perth International Jazz Festival, saxophonist Chelsea McBride brings her harmonically layered, infectiously energetic work to a big band setting under the auspices of Jenna Cave’s Divergence Jazz Orchestra. The native Canadian won theToronto Arts Foundation’s Emerging Jazz Artist Award, and toured her work across Canada and North America. Her debut release as Chelsea McBride’s Socialist Night School took a modernist, orchestral approach to jazz, charting the journey of a daydreaming commuter - a bustling, polyrhythmic jostle of interlocking instrumentation, alive with the energy and distraction of city life.
