Jazz Music Series, Vol. 1: Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Doo-wup
As John Sangster put it, "Here is the first in a series of Suites written for this lively little orchestra, a gathering that includes some of Australia's finest jazz musicians."

John Sangster’s Meditation, first issued on vinyl around 1980, is an ethereal set of flute, wind-chime and marimba textures. Over three long pieces the music builds a serene, otherworldly atmosphere meant for quiet listening.
