Goldsmith Baynes
The Goldsmith Baynes project is a celebration between two musical souls, their musical bond comes from freedom, a shared trust, and mutual respect. Goldsmith Baynes have performed at renowned festivals, they were programmed for the 2022 Auckland Arts Festival, performed live at Aotearoa Music Awards 2021, and are featured in both the 2021 and 2022 Waiata Anthems campaign.
This performance will showcase, via a full band including Taonga Pūoro, an exciting new project created by the renowned jazz artists Allana Goldsmith and Mark Baynes with vocals containing a beautiful mix of Māori and English language.
Their debut single ‘Tīpuna’ was released last year and featured on the Waiata Anthems 2021 compilation, which has since been followed by several more singles that make key contributions to the remarkable body of work that is their debut album ‘E Rere Rā’.
A wonderful collaboration between two modern favourites of the jazz world, Goldsmith's soulful jazz vocal combines with British pianist Baynes' contemporary jazz stylings to produce this truly uplifting and remarkable record.
'Allana Goldsmith is a rare gem, the kind of artist one hears for the first time and is immediately captivated. In many ways she is reminiscent of the great singers of the past. What is not redolent of past singers, however, is her preparedness to tackle adventurous modern projects' – John Fenton
