Jake Mason Trio - 'The Modern Ark' in PBS Studio 5 Live April 25, 2025

ARIA-nominated Jake Mason Trio are one of Australia’s premier soul-jazz acts. Their latest release, The Modern Ark, draws on the golden era of organ-jazz, paying homage to the greats like Jimmy Smith and Brother Jack McDuff with a distinctly modern feel.
