The Necks are a Sydney-based jazz trio known for their distinctive approach to long-form improvisation. Formed in 1987, the group consists of Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass).

Their music is built around extended pieces that evolve gradually over time, often exploring texture, rhythm, and subtle variation rather than traditional song structures. Drawing on elements of jazz, minimalism, ambient music, and experimental sound, The Necks have developed a unique and recognisable style.

The trio has released numerous albums and performed extensively both in Australia and internationally, earning a reputation as one of the most innovative and influential groups in contemporary improvised music.
