And All That Jazz

Port of Tauranga 60th National Jazz Festival is happening in Tauranga on 1–10 April (right
across Easter weekend) and there’s an amazing line-up that stars some of the best jazz musicians
in Australasia. We’re talking world-class jazz concerts, the three-day 45th National Youth Jazz Competition, a Jazz Cafe & VIP Bar, the family favourite TECT Jazz Village, the two-day Downtown Carnival jazz party, Jazz at the Mount on Easter Monday, a jazz sunset cruise, and a swinging
Big Band Tea Dance. For Piping Hot Dixie (pictured above), Melbourne’s famous Shirazz Jazz Band
will be joined by Kingston City organist Scott Harrison in a celebration of the hottest trad jazz and Wurlitzer organ magic. And E Rere Rā — Goldsmith & Baynes will treat the audience to a beautiful marriage of te reo, taonga puoro and jazz.
