Abbey/Foster/Falle is an exciting modern jazz trio from Perth, WA.

The group, featuring Nick Abbey (bass), Chris Foster (piano), and Ben Falle (drums), have each completed a Bachelor of Music (with First Class Honours) at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, and are in-demand session musicians, having played with the likes of John Scofield, Paul Grabowsky, James Morrison, George Garzone, Lucy Durack, Kate Cebrano, David Campbell, Ernest Ranglin, Peter Coombe, and Optamus, to name a few! 

 

Through years of performing together the trio have developed a unique musical understanding and an engaging brand of original music. As a culmination of this friendship, collaboration and musical partnership, they are now ready to record their debut studio album, aptly titled "Brotherhood".


THE ALBUM

We are largely self-funding this project, but we are looking for a bit of extra support from you to help get us over the line! We are extremely excited about the album, which will feature ten all original compositions (a few from each of us). Recording will be done right here in Perth at the fabulous Loop Studios, and mastering will then be completed at the world-famous Nilento Studios - in Sweden!! We will be recording over three days from July 30 to August 1, and have plenty of gigs booked in before then to hone the music, including our Thursday residency at The Moon Cafe in Northbridge (as "The Fix" with trumpeter Ricki Malet). This gig has been going for 8 years, so pop in, say "hi" and check out our music. Feel free to head on over to our Facebook page to stay informed about all our upcoming shows, as well as developments with the album.
