Bear & Missile is an Adelaide-based ensemble comprised of young talents,
Bernard Alexander (saxophones), Benjamin Finnis (guitar), Dylan Kuerschner
(bass), and Morgan Fletcher (drums). Having collaborated in various groups
in Adelaide for several years, these four artists developed a simpatico musical
and personal relationship that resulted in this co-led ensemble. With each
member regularly contributing original compositions, Bear & Missile’s music
stems from a diverse range of musical influences and genres, from Herbie
Hancock to Henry Threadgill, and Bebop to RnB. The group’s compositions
explore elements of the jazz canon that feel particularly relevant to them as
young people, such as soulful melodies, dancing rhythms, and high-energy
vehicles for improvisation.
Sunday, 14th.
