THE BEST JAZZ FEST!!

Choose a weekend festival pass to get you into all three sessions or pick and choose as you like with individual session tickets.

On Saturday afternoon the hottest young keys man around - Joe Kaptein - will bring a band up from the city packed with talent. Not only is he playing in everybody's band from Princess Chelsea to Six60, he also anchors the Exploding Rainbow Orchestra and he's been wowing midweek crowds all winter with an amazing residency at Ponsonby nightspot Goblin.

Saturday night sees Hopetoun Brown stomp and parp their way into your heart with an increasingly rare performance! This is like seeing a Takahe with a trumpet in the wild. It's basically the Supergroove horn-section repackaged as blues-wielding acoustic funk machine, which would be fine if they weren't joined by the meanest tooter in the country, iron-lips himself... the mighty Finn Scholes, who'll be slicing through the four-chord with his trusty Vincent Bach trumpet. Don't be surprised if picks up a tuba or rhodes electric piano at some point, potentially at the same time!! There will be dancing!
