Jazz Aotearoa: Notes Towards a New Zealand History by Richard Hardie

ISBN: 9781877448591 PUBLISHER: Steele Roberts & Associates Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 104 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.03.2009 DIMENSIONS: 210mmX150mm

DESCRIPTION: Very little has been published about a music that played a significant role in New Zealand community life throughout the 20th century. Beginning with a perceptive look at the early forays into the world of jazz in Australia and New Zealand, Jazz Aotearoa is the first step in documenting the history and great moments of improvised music in this land. Jazz in all its variety and splendour is here: classic performers like Mike Nock and Allan Broadbent; world-class events such as the Tauranga Jazz Festival; livewire venues like Wellington's Space and Happy; and the challenging fusion of taonga puoro, traditional Maori instruments, with the saxophone in which the very definition of 'jazz' as improvised music is stretched to its limit.
