Bluemode is a newly emerging jazz quintet from Melbourne Australia. United by a love of modern jazz in its myriad forms, Blue Mode covers the gamut from achingly beautiful ballads to raucous bluesy jams, with a mix of standards, including some less often heard, and a growing catalog of original tunes. The band consists of drummer Richard Eriksson, bassist Mike Holloway, trumpeter Hugh Montgomery, saxophonist Mat Anastasi and pianist and vocalist Leith Dixon. Eminently listenable, equally at home in the front bar or on the festival stage, this might just be the jazz you have been looking for.
