Rogue & Vagabond

Aotearoa

Dynamic saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Oscar Lavën pays loving tribute to Duke Ellington's superstar saxophonist Johnny Hodges, bringing to life a vision of one of the most sumptuous mid-century albums: Johnny Hodges and His Strings Play The Prettiest Gershwin. Close out your jazz festival experience in style and witness refined, elegant, blues-tinged saxophone weaving in and out of lush 50s Hollywood strings, supported by the deep-digging rhythm section of John Rae, Ben Wilcock and Patrick Bleakley. A rare experience not to be missed.
