Clear Path Ensemble is the neu project and brainchild of Wellington jazz and sonic arts graduate Cory Champion. Walking over the blurred lines of psychedelia and spiritual jazz and taking cues from planetary rhythms and celestial oddities, CPE invokes a higher sense of self through the transformative power of sound. In it’s truest essence these are a collection of cosmic compositions and a release that in our opinion is one of the heaviest to ever emerge from the New Zealand neo-jazz scene. Released February 11, 2020.

Chinese Puzzle by Rebecca Clarke. Performed by Duo Eolienne, Genevieve Davidson and Michelle Velvin

Tribute to NZ's essential workers, from New Zealand harp players around the country
