The Offering features music bursting with power, groove and passion and takes the listener on a ride from the rural Australian town of Delecca’s birth to the gritty subways of New York City. It is the sister album to his award winning 2013 release β€˜The Healer’ and represents the artistic culmination of his experiences living in NY from 2017-19.

Recorded over two freezing days in Brooklyn Dec 2019, the playlist consists of seven original compositions from Delecca along with β€˜Barbara’ by the great Horace Silver and Hoagy Carmichael’s classic ballad β€˜Skylark’.

The album boasts a stellar group of young New York musicians: Caili O’Doherty - piano, Cory Cox - drums, and guest on three tracks, Blue Note artist Immanuel Wilkins - alto saxophone. Also featured is virtuoso bassist Matt Clohesy, originally from Melbourne and long term fixture on the NY scene. The album brings together a diverse group of Australian and US musicians to make a powerful, cohesive musical offering!

Album launch was held on Thursday Nov 18th 2021 at The JazzLab, Melbourne and was a fantastic night! Check out some highlights here:
