Misinterprotato
Fresh from a successful UK tour and drawing comparisons with EST, The Necks and Radiohead, critically acclaimed jazz trio Misinterprotato returns home to premiere music from their highly anticipated fourth album, The Gentle War, at the Judith Wright Centre from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 August 2010.

“I started writing the new album while studying in Northern England. I was amazed by the dichotomy of an English Winter – it was beautiful yet gritty – and this definitely translates in the sound and style of my song- writing. Some pieces are evocative, sparse and delicate, while other tracks are steeped in hard-hitting rock.
“Surprisingly, when I came back to the Australian summer, my songwriting took on lighter shades of vibrancy, vivaciousness and fun. When mixed with our other influences – old-world European classical music and gritty rock – the result was an eclectic collection of songs that connected nicely but also stood alone as narratives.
“Our spectrum of sound is quite broad and I think that people get excited by the variation. The songs are succinct with clear structures that people can follow, but at the same time the music is dynamic and fluid. That’s the duality of our songwriting.”
Over the past four years, the members of Misinterprotato have been busy studying abroad, touring internationally and writing lots of music in preparation for their latest album.
The Gentle War was recorded in cool Tallebudgera, mixed in Minneapolis and inspired Misinterprotato to become Brisbane’s first jazz band to create a music film clip.
“We’ve always wanted to make a film clip; a lot of our audiences find a strong visual connection to the music,” says Sean Foran. “The element of fun is really important to us. For our first clip we chose a song called “Chase”, which has a strong narrative based on a heist, and incorporates a good dose of humour.”
Misinterprotato is Sean Foran (piano), John Parker (drums) and Pat Marchisella (acoustic bass). The trio will be joined by percussionist Tunji Bier on Friday 20 August and guitarist Toby Wren on Saturday 21 August.
Brisbane music lovers will be the first to experience Misinterprotato’s new album ahead of its official release and the trio’s national tour (preceding an anticipated tour to South America).
