Anita Schwabe Quartet

Ahead of the Wellington Jazz Festival, WJC has been fortunate to have a recipient of the 2020 Wellington Jazz Festival Commissions Anita Schwabe to perform for us. Anita is a Wellington jazz pianist and composer who has studied both here in NZ and overseas at the Koninklijk Conservatorium, Banff Centre for the Arts Canada and Berklee College of Music USA. She has performed at all the major jazz festivals in NZ with her own group and with other NZ and overseas musicians. In 2018 she recorded her album "Eat Your Greens" (available on Rattle Records) and won the APRA composition award for her composition "Spring Tide".

Joining Anita will be Nick Tipping (bass), Lance Philip (drums), Callum Allardice (guitar).
