FRAZZ

Early Tom Waits meets late Joe Henry while waiting for Leonard Cohen to show.

Kiwi born Sydney resident Wayne Gillespie releases his 6th album with band Famous Blue Raincoat & Rob Grosser.

Gillespie cut his teeth playing London Folk Clubs and Busking in Paris Metros in the 80's. He subsequently returned to New Zealand released three albums and made the finals of the NZ Music awards in 1984 and 1988.

Gillespie has performed/played with the likes of Suzanne Vega, Neil Finn, Lorina Harding (Aldous' mum), the late Chris Whitley, Stan Ridgeway, Ed Keupper (The Saints) and Amanda Brown (Go-Betweens) to name a few.

These songs are a collaboration with drummer/percussionist/Producer/Engineer Rob Grosser who has worked with some of Australia's best musicians including the late Pete Wells of Rose Tattoo, Jimmy Barnes, Tim Gaze, Bob Daisley (Ozzy Osbourne/Gary Moore) as well as overseas artists such as Bob Margolin (ex- Muddy Waters), Jon Lord, Ian Gillian (Deep Purple) and Steve Morse.

FRAZZ is a concoction of Alt/Folk/Rock/Jazz - tracks with traces of Rock spiced with cheeky surrealism, Jazz juices, Folk reverence, African flavours, Hypnotic Grooves and Dark Tales.
