Award-winning pianist, composer and educator Andrea Keller is a giant of the Australian jazz scene, and an internationally regarded figure whose technical prowess, creative smarts and drive to promote new, younger artists has long marked her out as a force to be reckoned with. Her oeuvre is as substantial as it is eclectic, peppered with sequels and prequels (and here, 'flickers' of memory), with waltz-time, doom metal and swing; with passages redolent of everyone from Keith Jarret to cool minimalists such as Arvo Part and Julius Eastman - but ultimately sounding only like herself.

This double album, Keller's 23rd release, celebrates her wide-ranging collaborations by cherry-picking compositions from 2010 to 2022 and including several unreleased tracks, 2010's Adelaide Festival-commissioned 'Pennies from Eve' among them; string sections recorded in Sydney and Canberra add a lush autumnal vibe while reinforcing her reputation as a consummate arranger. Tracks featuring the trio of trumpeter Miroslav Bukovsky and saxophonist John Mackey linger longer - the attention-grabbing 'Polar Bird' manages to be both intimate and immense - while 'I Am A Little Church', all spacious grace and yearning vocals, feel cleansing, powerful. An essential work by Andrea Keller, a truly extraordinary artist.
