Lost and Found is a collaboration between three of Australia's finest improvisers, multi award-winning saxophonist Jamie Oehlers, acclaimed pianist Paul Grabowsky and the supremely talented drummer, David Beck. This bass-less trio embodies the spirit of the great explorers by performing in a purely improvised setting and creating an exciting adventure through a myriad of shifting harmonic, melodic and rhythmic contours.

Oehlers, Grabowsky and Beck take you on an improvised journey through time and space, reassembling musical atoms, as they move to create a new melodic universe.

'When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again— Eric Dolphy When Dolphy made this statement, he was referring to the fact that music is never the same twice. Even the smallest nuance changes the nature of a musical performance. This group, Lost and Found, is the embodiment of this quote. Nothing is preconceived for any performance; there are no melodies, no forms, no structures, yet there is only melody, form and structure. Once the playing is over, it will never be the same again. The musicians on this recording are people I feel I have an extraordinary connection with. Both Paul and Dave are musicians who are always willing to allow the music to go where it wants (and needs) to go. I am constantly surprised by the telepathy that seems to exist in this ensemble, and am extremely grateful to be able to make music in this way, with these people. This music is boundless, joyful, penetrating, thoughtful, poignant. There is a story to each of these tracks, a tale that will be different to every listener.'
