Godtet
Godtet is a jazz group from Sydney, Australia, brought together by the guitarist and producer Dave Rodriguez, who also works under the name Godriguez. The band plays largely improvised instrumental jazz built on grooves, and has recorded both as a quintet and with string players and full orchestra in arrangements by Novak Manojlovic. Godtet's line-up is Rodriguez on guitar, Andrew Bruce on keys, Dominic Kirk on percussion, Jan Bangma on bass and Tully Ryan on drums. The debut Godtet came out in 2017, followed by II (2019), Suite and III (both 2020) and Meditations (2021).
