SUMMARY:The Adrian Cox Trio
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Baycourt Community & Arts Centre\nBack by popular demand Adrian Cox is back – A full-house in 2024 resulted in many requests to get this virtuoso of clarinet and band mates back to the National Jazz Festival again – it was a very easy decision. This act is simply amazing – you really do not want to miss it! \nInternationally acclaimed clarinetist Adrian Cox is a leading authority on New Orleans music\, known for his authentic\, electrifying style\, masterful technique\, deep historical knowledge and infectious stage energy. His unrivalled feel for early jazz has led to performances with major artists\, including two concerts with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in London and New York. \nCox tours with his exceptional Trio featuring NZ-born guitarist Honey Boulton and Parisian bassist Alex Gilson—a world-class powerhouse that leaves audiences spellbound. Club Croco explores alternative early-jazz repertoire\, capturing the era’s essence with charisma\, flair and a fresh modern slant. \nRenowned for his audience engagement and virtuosity\, Cox has earned widespread acclaim\, hailed by Time Out as “London’s most charismatic reedsman” and by Jamie Cullum as “indisputably one of the great clarinetists of the world.” Now based in Sweden\, he is touring the new work across Scandinavia\, Europe\, New Zealand and Australia\, with multiple dates confirmed. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Kokomo and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Baycourt Community & Arts Centre\nIn 1991 the Tauranga Jazz Society invited Derek Jacombs\, then playing guitar with country legend Ritchie Pickett\, to perform a set of blues at the National Jazz Festival\, in those days held at the Tauranga racecourse. \nTo bolster his first festival appearance Derek enlisted the help of harmonica player Grant Bullot. They played primarily 1930s blues and it was a huge success. So much so that\, with the addition of Grant’s bass-playing brother Roger\, they formed an acoustic blues trio and spent the 1990s tearing around the country playing over 100 shows in one year alone. \nBut that was long ago. Since then they have played in every corner of New Zealand\, from Sweetwaters to the America’s Cup; the Aotea Centre to the Blackball Hilton. \nAlong the way they have released fifteen albums and a live concert film\, and grown from a trad blues 3-piece to a multi-instrumental 5-piece carving out a specific “Kiwiana Blues” niche in New Zealand music. \nThis year Kokomo return to the National Jazz Festival for their 35th anniversary in a very special collaboration with members of the Tauranga Big Band and with surprise special guests throughout the evening. This will be Kokomo like you’ve never seen them before – let the fun begin! \nKokomo:\nDerek Jacombs – vocals\, acoustic guitar\nGrant Bullot – harmonica\, washboard\nNigel Masters – bass\nSantiago Rebagliati – electric guitar\nIan “Beano” Gilpin – drums \nFind out more
