One of Australia's most mysterious jazz long players. The eponymous creation of Queenland pianist Robert Welsh, Singing Dust offers a dynamic collection of songs, rich in compositional sophistication and expressive performance.
Inspired by the sounds of Indian devotional song, the jazz piano styles of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, English folk and Debussy's tonal impressions, this is a work of true dedication and posterity that will appeal to many serious music lovers.
Representing a culmination of Welsh’s influences in and outside of music, the dynamic collection of seven compositions accompany the Ghazal devotional poems translated by Australian poet Francis Brabazon. While Singing Dust sits loosely within the spheres of exploration that many jazz players took into world fusion in the '80s, it stands alone in its bright searing light of truth, love and austerity.
