The Royal New Zealand Jazz Orchestra is a national trailblazer in Big Band jazz. Having been around since the actual ‘swing era’, the band has a rich history to draw from. On the 30th of September, the Jazz Orchestra will release its second full length album 'Kaiwhakatere – Navigator'. Staying true to the tradition of swing and improvisation, this album features seven fresh compositions from Aotearoa. Included in the track list from award-winning composer Anita Schwabe, is ‘Drifting’, a beautifully descriptive piece inspired by Sam Hunt’s poem “My White Ship”.
The concert will feature the works from album as well as a range of compositions from John Coltrane, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Ahmad Jamal, and many more. We’ll have resident vocalist LAC Stephanie Paris feature and special guest compere Nick Tipping will keep the proceedings running smoothly. Don’t miss this chance to hear the RNZAF Jazz Orchestra in all its glory.
