Hard-grooving organ trio with lashings of eclectic sax
Hard-bop, funk and originals are at the forefront of this evening with sartorial saxophonist Oscar Lavën, organ maestro Ayrton Foote (Wellington Mingus Ensemble, Tawhiri Funk) and artful drummer Darren Mathiassen (Shapeshifter, Hollie Smith).
These flamboyantly hardworking denizens of the Wellington scene are guaranteed to get your heart – and the joint – pumping.
John Beasley’s MONK’estra
Smashingly off-beat melody, humour, beauty and swing abound in this hippest of big bands, capturing the spirit of Thelonious Monk
