About the Album
Composer: Bob Sedergreen
Lyrics: Judy Jacques
From rising star vocalist Alex Siegers, an album of truly Australian jazz standards, featuring classic tracks from across six decades, several recorded here for the first time.
Introduced to Australian and New Zealand jazz by her teacher, the late Kerrie Biddell, Siegers was excited when Tim Nikolsky released the first iteration of the Australian Jazz Real Book – but also frustrated that so many of the classic tunes in it were so difficult to access in recorded form. This album, says Siegers, is a first step towards remedying that lack, and building the core of the Australian jazz canon.
‘From Here is my postcard to the world about my beautiful home, Australia. From Cockerawombeeba Creek near Wauchope, NSW to Tangambalanga, VIC, just past Yackandandah and Baranduda; our tiny native bees and our towering tallowwoods; our egalitarian spirit and lovable larrikinism; our art, literature and design, the kitsch and the classic. I love it all. We have a deep and complex history, and so many incredible stories to share.’
