Below are some of the reviews of my playing and compositions.
Funk Engine Jazz-Funk Album Review
Pogson's compositions reveal a deep knowledge of the jazz-funk idiom, and his immaculate bass playing, beautifully recorded is at exactly the right level in the sound balance.
Funk Engine Jazz-Funk Album Review
The third release from this Sydney-based 5-piece, Jazz-Funk features several successful collaborations with a host of horns that bring both vibe and melody to the arrangements, as well as a soulful collaboration with vocalist Pat Powell. Primarily an instrumental album, it abounds with big chunky grooves, tightly arranged sound-crafting and plentiful moments of individual improvised dexterity that hold the album to its title.
Elysian Fields Performance Review
Not yet 30, Siebe Pogson is proving himself a fine composer. ‘The Tragedy/The Journey is energetic and exciting, ‘Dark Dreaming’ has a striding sense of purpose, and the crowd was fired up by ‘Rescue’ with its funky groove, a piece that gave the musicians a chance to really chop out and show just how versatile they are. And he plays a mean bass too.
Elysian Fields Perfomance Review
The Tragedy/The Journey by Siebe Pogson followed. The first half was rich, lush and limpid with Bishop singing a smoky lament. It then changed to a quite upbeat, boppy snazzy melody and featured a hot saxophone solo by Matt Keegan
