Perth jazz vocalist and composer Holli Scott is set to release her second album, Weather and Weeds this month. The album will be out on Friday, October 25 and launched with a live performance at the Camelot Memorial Hall in Mosman Park on Sunday, October 27 as part of the Perth International Jazz Festival (PIJF).
This immersive and inclusive event will feature visual art by Fremantle’s Jotterbook as well as a live interpreter from AUSLAN Stage Left.
Weather and Weeds sees Scott team up with two celebrated jazz musicians: Grammy award-winning pianist Tal Cohen and world-renowned saxophonist Jamie Oehlers. Together, the trio have created an “intimate, open sound that allows space for improvisation,” blending jazz with elements of folk, art music, and spoken word.
The trio first came together after a chance meeting between Scott and Cohen at the 2022 Perth International Jazz Festival. While Scott and Oehlers have collaborated for over a decade, this marks her first project with Cohen.
