Tauranga Easter Jazz Festival

Well the festival was great! Awesome crowd and a lot of fun. Saturday afternoon with Grand Central was incredible. Good energy and an enthusiastic audience. We played as the Alan Brown Trio later that night which also was amazing. The crowd was smaller but no less enthusiastic! The band was amazing and the tunes took on a life of their own.

I used a new Nord C1 combo organ kindly donated by Music Planet, in conjunction with my 145 Leslie. What a sound! I'm very impressed with the Nord - the sound is the closest I've heard, the two manuals 'feel' like a Hammond, and it's very light!!! I'm sure, once my budget allows, that I would purchase one of these (even the on-board leslie effect is good!).

It's been a while since the last entry, so some updates for you. There are a couple of excellent album reviews on the ABTrio page - waiting on a few more to come through soon.

We have a spot at the Tauranga Jazz Festival in Easter, along with the Grand Central Band. We are on the "Bravo Stage" - Grand Central from 1-4pm on the Saturday and Alan Brown Trio from 7-10pm that night. It's a great festival and promises to be as much fun as ever! See you there...

Album Release Gig

For those who missed it, the album release gig went extremely well on the 6th. Thanks to all who attended, and we had a great time! As for further gigs, I am in the process of sorting out some venues, and I'll be posting these when they are confirmed.

As well as being available for purchase in downloadable format, the CD can be purchased through SmokeCDs.com, and they handle local as well as international orders.
