Influenced by artists such as Pat Metheny, the quartet blends lyrical melodies, rich harmonies, and a strong sense of storytelling into a sound that is both soulful and contemporary. Described by Nikos Fotakis (Stefano Rocco: ‘I keep the doors open when I compose’) as having “a humanistic approach to jazz, creating soothing and heartwarming soundscapes,” the group delivers energetic and emotionally engaging live performances.

The quartet has released two albums (A New Night, A New Day – 2020; Wildlife – 2025) and has performed across Australia and Europe, including Italy, Germany, Belgium, Slovenia, and Denmark.
