Art Don’t Lie is a genre-blending contemporary jazz album where improvisation and electronic textures intertwine with Jewish folk and rhythmic traditions.
Led by Melbourne saxophonist and composer Joshua Moshe, the album moves between expansive ensemble writing and improvisation, shaped by a core eight-piece group recorded in early 2023 and expanded through ongoing studio sessions across 2023 – 2024.
At its centre is a sound world that is both deeply personal and outward-looking, rooted in lineage, migration and tradition, while pushing into contemporary jazz, groove, and electronic production.
The album features a powerhouse ensemble of collaborators including UK/NZ drummer Myele Manzanza, who brings deep rhythmic drive and elasticity to the music, alongside long-time producer and collaborator Lewis Moody, whose production and mixing shape the record’s sonic world.
Across eight tracks (with two digital-only pieces), Art Don’t Lie unfolds as a cinematic, rhythm-driven work with space for each voice in the ensemble to stretch and respond. It blends acoustic ensemble playing with synthesis, percussion traditions, oud, and layered sound design.
Singles include Art Don’t Lie, Binah and Vessel.
