Seymour Sounds: MANFREDO LAMENT + Scruffs

About

Seymour Sounds is a free music series designed for those who want to hear the music breathe. Across six weeks, Seymour are re-opening our courtyard to host an intimate series of back-to-back live sets from the heavyweights and rising stars of Sydney’s vibrant nu jazz and neo-soul scenes. This is an invitation to settle into the city’s living room - a space to gather, connect, eat, and unwind amid the warmth of live instrumentation. Experience artists pushing their own boundaries with two distinct live sets, evolving as the night transitions. FREE EVENT. Manfredo Lament will be playing two 45 minute sets, at 6.30pm and 7.45pm, with DJ sets from Scruffs before, in between and after on Saturday 28 November. MANFREDO LAMENT Manfredo Lament is a fully improvised jazz group led by Kurt Lam on synth/keys, and Gabriel Haslam on drums. The group have cemented their place among the underground scene by spearheading a new generation of improvised jazz bands in Sydney. Boasting 30+ members of a rotating lineup, each show features jazz-adjacent, local and interstate musicians from across Australia fostering collaboration and community. Through a genre-fluid approach to improvisation, the sound of each show and recording is a unique blend of the musical styles and personalities of each performer, threading sounds from modern jazz to dance to psychedelic music. A mindset of songwriting, emotional vulnerability and adaptation to the performance environment is core to their performance and conceptual practice.
