The Necks are an experimental jazz trio from Sydney, Australia, comprising Chris Abrahams on piano and Hammond organ, Tony Buck on drums and Lloyd Swanton on bass guitar and double bass. The band plays improvisational pieces of up to an hour in length that explore repeating musical figures.
It was difficult to gauge what was to come of my first Necks' experience as the trio entered from the wings of the stage, notably nonchalant in their practical pants.
But Australian post-jazz trio The Necks ending their European tour at Village Underground last night mesmerised the audience into dumbstruck awe with their slo-mo ambient improvisation.
