Expect plenty of improvisation when the Jelly Rolls play in Warkworth.
The Jelly Rolls jazz group will perform a collection of songs from George Gershwin and Cole Porter at Mahurangi College on Saturday April 30 at 4pm as part of a New Zealand tour.
The trio formed in Wellington in 2011 and is made up of a pianist, drummer and bassist.
They have performed with Auckland’s Creative Jazz Club, at the Tauranga Jazz Festival and on Radio New Zealand’s live series A Short History of Jazz.
They released their first album in 2014 called Sneaky Weasel, which made way for a tour of the North Island last year. Warkworth will be the last stop on their current five-stop tour.
Group member Ben Wilcock says jazz is increasingly popular in New Zealand’s larger cities and the key to engaging a live audience was improvisation.
Tickets can be purchased on the night – adults $30 and students free.
