Nerve 10 Year Anniversary Tour
The Jac: "Nerve" 10 Year Anniversary Tour - Auckland
The Jac is celebrating 10 years since their debut album, Nerve, was released on Rattle records. The album received warm reviews and critical acclaim, including a nomination in the Aotearoa Music Awards "Best Jazz Album" category. Now The Jac is going back to where it all begin with three shows in the Te-Ika-a-Maui / The North Island.
Since 2010 the 8-piece ensemble The Jac has been a leading voice in the New Zealand jazz scene, pushing a modern sound with their distinctive, through-composed compositions, tight ensemble playing and impressive live shows.
Their debut album Nerve (2014) was nominated for the NZ Music Awards Best Jazz Album of the year; the opening track “Sons of Thunder” from The Green Hour (2015) won New Zealand’s inaugural Jazz Composition of the Year award; in 2017 they performed 12 shows around the country as part of Chamber Music New Zealand’s “Encompass” tour, solidifying their cross-genre credentials; and this was followed by a headlining concert with Korean traditional/jazz fusion group, Black String, at the Wellington Jazz Festival, which sold out and garnered rave reviews.
