Wellington Jazz Cooperative presents powerhouse drummer/composer and bandleader Mark Lockett and his new trio for this special WJC concert.
Playing a suite of Lockett’s original tunes from his New York release ‘Sneaking out after midnight’. The music promises to be both joyful and allows the musicians freedom to improvise not bound by complex harmonies.

With six albums under his own name, Mark has performed internationally with Jazz giants George Garzone, Joe Cohn, Joel Frahm, Will Vinson, Danny Walsh, Jamie Oehlers, Orlando le Fleming, Matt Penman and many more. Lockett has studied with some of the most influential drummers on the global scene today including Ari Hoenig, Joe Morello, Jim Black, John Riley to name a few.
