Redleaf

Redleaf documents the evolution of Sydney-based guitarist and composer Hilary Geddes across four transformative years with her long-standing quartet: Matthew Harris (piano), Max Alduca (double bass), and Alexander Inman-Hislop (drums). Following their acclaimed debut Parkside (ABC Jazz, 2021), which earned an AIR Award nomination and positioned Geddes as one of Australia’s most compelling new jazz voices, the quartet return with a recording that is both expansive and intimate. The album captures the group’s lyrical interplay and rich atmospheres, blending jazz improvisation with cinematic textures and guitar-led harmonic landscapes. Spacious, contemplative and deeply personal, Redleaf is a slow-burning journey through memory, place and interior life, showcasing a band that has matured together while continuing to embrace risk, freedom and collective storytelling.
