Shuffle Jazz Evolution w/ Michel Bénébig

Shuffle Jazz Evolution are set to light up Āto Jazz Club with their grooving take on Soul Jazz... Music that oozes gospel spirit, blues depth, and the irresistible sway of the shuffle. As Ron says: “The shuffle is the shit for me! It isn’t just flat, it’s broken, and that’s where the music lies. It’s so beautifully wrong!”

At the heart of the sound is Michel Bénébig, New Caledonia’s Hammond organ master, known for his infectious groove and deep African-American jazz influences. From his countryside beginnings surrounded by vinyl to collaborations across the globe, Michel’s music is rich, soulful, and bursting with energy. Backed by some of NZ’s finest;

Roger Manins on Sax
Ron Samsom on Drums
Mike Howell on Guitar
