About this album

Paradise Volume One is a vivid 1973 jazz-funk statement from John Sangster, shaped by bossa nova and modal ideas into a distinctly Australian suite. Across pieces such as Sunrise At Paradise, Gold Coast Meter Maids and Paradise At Night, Sangster turns coastal and wildlife imagery into fluid, melodic jazz with a light funk pulse and a composer’s sense of form. The album reflects his gifts as a trumpeter, bandleader and arranger, and it stands as one of the more imaginative Australian jazz records of its era, balancing groove, atmosphere and strong thematic writing without losing momentum.
