The Jac's third album, The Gathering

The Best Jazz composition of the year for 2020 has gone to a track by Wellington ensemble The Jac, co-inciding with the group's 10th birthday and the release of its third album, A Gathering. The winning track Tui is on that album, though its release and planned tour have been scuppered by Covid-19. So, the ensemble is releasing tracks from the new double album in two chunks - some now and the other in the lead up to the tour that'll now happen next year. One of The Jac's founding members, Nick Tipping chats to Lynn about how and another track, Lullaby, came together - and why he describes it as cinematic jazz.
