Composer/saxophonist Jeremy Rose’s familiarity with music began at an early age. His parents exposed him to jazz and world music through their record collection, being particularly inspired by the music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley. He began piano studies at the age of six and clarinet at eight, before taking up saxophone at 11. Jeremy was determined to be a bandleader, forming his first group in primary school and composing solos for all the performers.
Jeremy’s accolades include nomination for an ARIA Award, a short-listing for the Australian Music Prize, Bell Awards for Young Australian Jazz Artist of the Year and Best Produced Album, an APRA Professional Development Award for Jazz, a two-time Freedman Jazz Fellowship finalist, a four-time Art Music Award finalist for Excellence in Jazz, and a finalist for the NSW Creative Achievement Awards.
One of Jeremy’s mainstays has been his quartet, releasing three albums (‘Chiba’, ‘Sand Lines‘ & ‘Within and Without’) and performing regularly throughout Australia and appearances in Toronto, Cape Town, London, and throughout Europe. In 2005, he founded the world-jazz quartet ‘The Vampires’, the band was selected to showcase at the highly competitive Jazzahead! Trade fair event in Bremen, Germany in 2014 and were finalists for Australian Jazz Ensemble of the Year at the 2018 Bell Awards. Their fifth album ‘The Vampires Meet Lionel Loueke’ received airplay worldwide including the BBC’s Jamie Cullum and Iggy Pop, was nominated for an ARIA award, was the first instrumental album to be short-listed for the Australian Music Prize, and was on numerous top ten album lists for the year, including #1 on All About Jazz (Friedrich Kunzmann).
In 2016 Jeremy formed the Earshift Orchestra, releasing his extended suite Iron in the Blood (ABC Jazz). Inspired by Robert Hughes’ book The Fatal Shore, Iron in the Blood is a musical production with 17-piece jazz orchestra, visual projections and narration by two actors which received praise for its eclecticism and boldness.
Jeremy has had commissions and performances in the contemporary classical music space, non-western collaborations and other contemporary music styles. He has composed and performed with Ensemble Offspring, SCM’s Modern Music Ensemble, saxophonist Nick Russoniello with Acacia String Quartet, Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship and Leichardt Expresso Chorus.
Most recently, his work River Meeting Suite, for his saxophone quartet Compass Quartet was shortlisted for the AMC Art Music Awards, Jazz Work of the Year. The work was featured at the 2019 Four Winds Festival, where Jeremy was showcased as a composer-performer.
Rose has received recognition through nominations for the ARIA Awards, three AIR Awards, Australian Music Prize short-listing, two Jazz Bell Awards, the APRA Professional Development Award for Jazz, a four-time finalist for the AMC Art Music Award for Excellence in Jazz and runner up at the National Jazz Awards saxophone competition. As a label director of Earshift Music, Rose has fostered a community of creative musicians throughout Australasia.
