New album out in August.

August 9th is the release date for The Java Quartet's new album, Rejavanation. Watch out for the group touring nationally in August with some very special guests.

‘Rejavanation’ is an eclectic jazz romp through digital beats, textures and tones. Inspired by the hypnotic aesthetics of dance electronica, the band has re-imagined, remixed, and reinvented a collection of some of the finest moments from their back catalogue, combining them with some adventurous new material. Think A Tribe Called Quest and their preoccupation with jazz samples; the sonorous acoustic bass sound of Roni Size’s drum ‘n bass beats; the quirky electro-jazz of Flanger; and the whole of Bill Laswell’s Axiom label output – especially his Tabla Beat Science project. Serious jazz improvisation dives into a sea of circuitry and Indian raga with mesmerising outcomes – jazz you can sometimes even dare dance to.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the road in Sydney, Canberra Melbourne and Darwin.
