Olivier Holland’s Gjazz5 – Jazz Attack re-loaded

Gjazz5, your favourite brand for amazing music, is putting on a concert featuring recent work as well as tunes from the “Jazz Attack!” Era. 3 of these tunes have recently been premiered at the Wellington Jazz festival where Gjazz5 featured among the headliner acts in 2022.

Especially the four new works are from genres of many different corners of our planet with “out-of-the-box” rhythms such as those from Algerian RAI music, Zimbabwean “Mbende” and “Mhande”, contemporary European odd-time-jazz and Cuban Salsa.

After roaring success at the WJF, CjC and other NZ venues, this is your chance to hear and see this new and innovative music performed by a killer line-up.

Plus – an opportunity to purchase the 2021 GJAZZ5 double CD album - there is no way you can miss this gig!
