Sunny Side Up was originally released on June 1 st 2009 and was Paolo Nutini’s sophomore studio album at the age of 22-years-old. Taking cues from soul, jazz and club culture, they’ve stamped an uninhibited style on a sun-bleached spool of influences. Recorded over a week at The Grove, a fabled house-cum-studio in the North Melbourne suburb of Coburg, nine of Melbourne’s hotly-tipped talents take the lead with their own take on a musical form rooted in jazz. Essential compilation that demonstrates how deep and unique is the australian jazz and beyond scene.

Sunny Side Up explores the story behind this flourishing period and shines light on some of its most compelling figures.
