Hilary Geddes - Redleaf (2026)

Hilary Geddes Quartet’s second album, Redleaf, is a meditative exploration of memory and place, inspired by the personal experience of living in Sydney during the pandemic years. The record’s sonic tapestry blends traditional jazz improvisation with cinematic textures, creating a "slow-burn" atmospheric effect. Recorded live in a single day, the album demonstrates profound creative trust among the quartet members and highlights Geddes’ evolution as a composer embracing non-linear forms and sound-mapping. The work balances contemplative intimacy with experimental freedom, reaffirming Geddes’ status as a leading contemporary voice in the Australian scene, equally accomplished in jazz and as a member of the acclaimed rock band The Buoys.
