Umar Zakaria's Jazz Underground

Brought to you by the same musical mind that created 2020’s sold-out Beacons Jazz Orchestra concert at the Wellington Jazz Festival, Umar Zakaria’s Jazz Underground is the award-winning bassist’s latest project to champion improvised music.

Fusing contemporary sounds with traditional knowledge, the Jazz Underground works to connect our everyday lives with the empowering experience of musical self-expression in the moment.

You are invited to join the underground – step into Moon on Riddiford Street to experience it for yourself!
