Bands jazzin’ at Matakana gig

Two great local jazz bands will combine to present an afternoon of swinging jazz at the Matakana Hall on Sunday, November 26, starting at 2pm.

Mahurangi Ramblers will step-up with their toe-tapping New Orleans-style jazz, while Jazz Connection will chill things down with some Glen Miller swing.

The Jazz Connection will also feature new lead singer, Dana Ferguson, of Tapora.

The two groups perform together two or three times a year and the programme is likely to include such favourites as Millenberg Joys, Doin’ the New Low Down, The Lady’s In Love With You and Birth of the Blues.

Tickets are $10 at the door.
