An exclusive concert for Wellington Jazz Festival at The Undercurrent.
John Rae’s BOP-IT!
Hard Bop with a Kiwi Twist.
Featuring a stellar lineup of Aotearoa’s finest jazz musicians, John
Rae’s BOP-IT! delivers a high-energy celebration of the hard bop era.
Rooted in the rich traditions of 1950s and 60s jazz, BOP-IT! brings new
life to classic repertoire while exploring the bold, boundary-pushing
spirit of post-bop.
With virtuosic solos, driving rhythms, and deep grooves, this will be
one of the most exhilarating performances of the festival. Hard bop has
always challenged both audiences and musicians alike—and BOP-IT! takes
it to the next level.
Featuring: John Rae Drums, Ben Wilcock Piano, Patrick Bleakley Bass, Oscar Laven Sax, Michael Taylor Trumpet.
