Jazz Attack With DJ English Jake

INSIDE: Jazz Attack! (6PM til 8PM)

Olivier Holland - bass / Daniel Waterson - drums / Nick Dow - piano
Michael Howell - guitar / Misha Kourkov - tenor / Finn Scholes - trumpet

German bassist and composer Olivier Holland has worked with countless national as well as international artists. His long music career, which began in 1989, has seen him migrate to NZ in 2002, infiltrate the NZ jazz scene and, teach at the University of Auckland Jazz Department since 2004. He still frequently travels across many ditches to perform and record with internationals. No less than a further four CD albums are on the “recordings-to-do-list” in the next 18 month; those will add to his discography which is already 23 albums strong.

Oli has now gathered a group of mega talented Jazz Jedi to form the group Jazz Attack. Despite their young age, these guys are no Padawan leaners; the fourth is strong with them (as are all those other intervals)! Enabled by their off-the-charts midi-chlorians count in excess of 20 000, these guys will turn on the Warp-drive and explore new harmonic and polyrhythmic universes, where no man has gone before . . .

And you can come along, too!

On the menu will be Oli's compositions - they fit in no box, leave nothing unharmed. Be in for a night of power, dazzling complexity, and surprise!
