about

Jazz and Sci-Fi don’t typically mix - In his latest single ‘Aenea’, Wilcock breaks away from conventionality in his most contemporary project to date through an eclectic mix of harmonic centers and brave improvisation

The first single is based on the characteristics of Aenea – a protagonist in the sci-fi novel saga Hyperion which is the inspiration for new album ‘The River Tethys’

The vinyl album was released on August 13th 2021 and features eleven unique compositions by Wilcock, who is joined by award winning drummer John Rae, violinist Tristan Carter and Dan Yeabsley on double bass

Each track on ‘The River Tethys’ is based on different unique worlds explored by protagonists within the sci-novel

‘The River Tethys’ was Premiered during The Wellington Jazz Festival on June 11th at the iconic music venue Meow
