Auckland Jazz Festival coming, 10- 26 October

Mike Nock Trio
Via Creative Jazz Club (CJC): "The inaugural Auckland Jazz Festival is fast approaching, with 10 days of great jazz happening across a number of venues around town including (obviously) 1885 & Orleans, Tom Tom, The Golden Dawn, The Portland Public House, Hallertau, and more. Check out the programme at www.aucklandjazzfestival.co.nz

Here at CJC we'll be featuring 3 great international headline acts over consecutive nights:

Tuesday 21 - Mike Nock Trio (Sydney) [TICKETS]
The much-loved pianist will be bring his Sydney-based trio to CJC.

Wednesday 22 - Benny Lackner Trio (Germany) [TICKETS]
Redefining the piano trio for the electronic age, German-American Benny Lackner brings his Berlin-based band to CJC for the first time.

Thursday 23 - Francisco Torres (USA) & Rodger Fox [TICKETS]
Two master trombonists unite with ample support from Kevin Field, Ron Samsom and Ollie Holland. I call this one "Two bones and a dog".

Festival Pricing: Prices for the internationals in the festival will be:
$35 admission
$30 CJC members
$25 Students
$20 Student members (standing room)
Festival pass: all 3 events: $90. Select the festival pass option from the Mike Nock gig. 

Presale tickets are available from eventfinder for all 3 events. We've capped the capacity a bit to provide a good experience for those who attend, and we expect demand to be huge, so get in early... AND, please do make sure you go and see some other gigs around town during the festival. We want this festival to keep going and growing. Only you can make that happen.

Peruse the full lineup at aucklandfestival.co.nz/events and then check back again in a few days, because there still soem good events being confirmed on a daily basis."
