ALBUM STREAM: Jake Mason Trio - 'The Stranger In The Mirror'

It's Thursday, almost the weekend, so sit back and relax with the slick sounds of Jake Mason Trio's debut album The Stranger In The Mirror, premiering exclusively on theMusic.com.au.

The LP is a triumph of buttery smooth jazz and soul, heightened by pops of incendiary saxophone and cooled down by masterfully controlled percussion. It's an elegant and elevated offering from the multi-ARIA nominated artist.

“I love the place where jazz and soul meets,” says Mason.

“It has a simplicity that is so warm and welcoming combined with a complexity that is exciting and makes you move.”

The new cut will officially be released tomorrow (11 May) with the band following it up with a duo of exclusive shows in Brisbane and Sydney in June and July respectively.

Tickets are on sale now; for more information, swing on over to theGuide.
