about

‘On The Shoulders Of Giants’ is an ode to the wisdom of those who’ve come before us, and a reminder that although things may appear bleak in the future, one only needs to look to the past to see just how far we have come thanks to the hard work of our elders. Ideally, we should be inspired by their work and look at the view from the giants shoulders with a renewed sense of optimism, that real change is possible even if we may not see it in our lifetimes - just like the parable of the man who plants trees of whose shade he will never sit, but he does so for the love of future generations that will enjoy the tree.

The Rookies were born in the spring of 2014 on the forgotten end of Brunswick Street in a room full of sweat, beer and dim lights at The Rooks Return. What started as a quiet set of background jazz for punters while they imbibed their cocktails quickly devolved into an uninhibited, drunken dance party reminiscent of a time almost forgotten...

The Rookies are Jazz, but not like you know it. ... more
