Sam Anning - Earthen

Featuring an ensemble of long time collaborators and distinguished voices of Australian jazz, Andrea Keller, Kyrie Anderson, Mat Jodrell, Carl Mackey, Julien Wilson, and Theo Carbo, the album draws on the deep well of Archie’s wisdom, connection to the moment, resilience of spirit, and the medicinal power of music.
