Tamil Rogeon
Son of Nyx
(Soul Bank Music)
★★★
AFTER working on various projects across the world in recent years, Melbourne-based viola player and orchestral composer Tamil Rogeon returns to his jazz roots with Son of Nyx.
Named after a Greek god, the album is an engaging mix of musical styles. A rare instrument in jazz, Rogeon’s viola adds a refreshing sound to the rest of the band — Daniel Mougerman on keyboards, Danny Fischer on drums and Allysha Joy’s vocals.
