Spectra Jazz Orchestra - Double Video Single Launch! at Lazybones Lounge Restaurant & Bar

Spectra Jazz Orchestra return to the Inner West’s favourite venue to launch two exciting video singles! Recorded live at Rancom Studios in 2025, the singles are Mr Stankface, composed by band member Liv Diamant, and Guman and Human, by band director Ellen Kirkwood. Both groovy bangers, these tracks showcase and celebrate the talent, community, and hard work of Spectra’s exciting young musicians.Spectra Jazz Orchestra is an initiative for young women and gender diverse musicians which builds a bridge between music education on the secondary and tertiary levels, into the professional music world. As the wider jazz community consists predominantly of male musicians, Spectra also empowers and creates a supportive space for its members to grow as musicians. They play a fun and diverse range of jazz and jazz-adjacent works, with an emphasis on adventurous Australian music. Spectra has been running since 2016 and has performed at some of Sydney’s favourite jazz joints, such as Lazybones, Camelot, the Red Rattler and more, and festivals including the International Women’s Jazz Festival, Manly Jazz Festival and Marrickville Music Festival. Spectra Jazz Orchestra is:
