Audioculture presents: Dr Aleisha Ward- The Jazz Age in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland
By 1923 the Jazz Age was in full swing in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, with a variety of venues to listen and dance to jazz. From The Dixieland to Trades Hall, The Cafetaria to Click Clack Cabaret, a century later this talk takes you on a digital tour of Auckland’s jazz venues in the 1920s. She will explore the bands, audiences, and scandalous behaviour that had morality campaigners concerned for the safety of people’s characters.
