CJC Creative Jazz Club Aotearoa is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Arts House Trust, for a Winter Series of jazz, weekly at the historic Pah Homestead, in Hillsborough, Tāmaki Makaurau.

The programme begins Wednesday 10 July, at an earlier time of 7.30pm, with Wellington saxophonist (and multi-instrumentalist) Oscar Laven, who’s assembled a killer band of musicians with connections to his city, Jonathan Crayford, Mostyn Cole and Thomas Friggens, to play music from his latest album. 

That’s followed a week later, by a scorching double quartet featuring Jeff Henderson and Roger Manins, The Quickdraw Carabiners, featuring double ups on every instrument - two guitars, two basses, two drum sets, and countless cymbals.

Then Ruckus, led by guitarist David Ward, is joined by Callum Passells, brings along a romp through some fun and sometimes humorous compositions.

And we close out the month with Takadimi, tabla maestro Manjit Singh bringing his fusion of Indian classical sounds and jazz back to CJC. Further concerts will be announced in due course. 

The Arts House Trust is one of the country’s largest collections of contemporary New Zealand art, with approximately 10,000 works. Based at the Pah Homestead in Hillsborough, Tāmaki Makaurau, they are an independent charitable entity supporting and promoting art and culture nationally through exhibitions, public programmes, art loans, workshops, concerts and events.

Events will take place among the exhibitions, incorporating their Yamaha grand piano, and will be licensed with beer and wine available. As usual, tickets are available from Eventfinda, with cash and eftpos door sales available unless sold out prior.

Pah Homestead is located in Monte Cecilia Park, at 72 Hillsborough Road, and has ample parking available.

We look forward to seeing you there!
