Zulya and the Children of the Underground
Zulya and The Children of the Underground perform exquisite original music inspired by Zulya’s Tatar and Russian roots. Zulya’s music defies being labeled, but has been described as “Kurt Weillish, Euro-Cabaret jazz [collides with] lullabies constructed to tear your heart out.”
Bach In The Dark
"It truly is a delight to find yet another audaciously Australian release. The audacity is wonderfully apparent from the very start in the unorthodox ensemble which Scott and Schulz comprise – cello and piano accordion in duet. For such a pairing, the selection of works presented on Little Birds both reward the expectations of the listener and throws in a few well-calculated surprises. Opening with De Falla’s Suite Espagnole, the duo establish the playful, Bohemian quality of the entire collection and their own musicianship in one swift stroke".
