Jazz Musician Daniel Yeabsley invites two of Wellington’s most inventive jazz guitarists, and a top-class rhythm section. to accompany him deep into a maelstrom of swing.
Theo Thomson is a newcomer to the Wellington scene, but has established himself quickly as a composer and versatile accompanist. Whether writing for his own string quartet + Jazz trio or architecturally constructing electifying edifices of sound, Theo is one to listen to.
Adrian Jensen has paid his dues in the Gypsy and trad Jazz world- having been a long time member of Black Spider Stomp, The Roseneath Centennial Ragtime Band, The Dancing & Drinking Society etc. Now Adrian is moving forward to showcase his unstoppable timefeel and swinging melodic lines with more contemporary groups.
Daniel Yeabsley is a newcomer to guitar, but not to jazz, having played at various instruments over the years. His first mid-life crisis happened at the age of 7 when he auditioned for the school orchestra on recorder, but was given a triangle (no beater) and told to sit behind the tall kids. A series of instruments then ensued, each shinier and more expensive than the last. Finally, Daniel saw the light, sold his extensive alto clarinet and tuba collection and bought a guitar.
Music from 9pm, FREE ENTRY
