Spring has sprung, and we’re kicking it off with two saxophones, a seriously groovy rhythm section, and a whole lot of noise.
For the 10th Private Gig of the 2026 Jazz Season, we welcome Australian saxophonist and composer Zac Hurren to Āto, alongside some very familiar faces.
Zac’s playing can go from delicate and lyrical to completely explosive in the space of a few bars. Add Iggy Nama Ruci on alto sax and suddenly we’ve got two saxophones going head-to-head in a room built for listening.
Expect big sounds, deep grooves, spontaneous turns and plenty of moments where you’ll wonder how four people are making that much noise.
The Band:
Zac Hurren – Tenor Saxophone
Iggy Nama Ruci – Alto Saxophone
Wil Goodinson – Bass
Finn McNeill – Drums
Two saxophones. One tiny room.
Things could get interesting.
Zac is currently holding down the fort at the Auckland School of Jazz while Roger Manins is away on sabbatical, so we’re very lucky to have him landing at Āto for the night.
Come celebrate the arrival of spring the Āto way: good people, great music, communal soup and absolutely no idea where the next solo is going.
