Corinne

Born: March 7

Evocative and provocative, “Tickled Pink,” the latest 2024 single release from Corinne, out now and available everywhere, infuses a modern spin on bossa jazz. She flirts with a pop sensibility, as well as her lyrical romantic subject, yet maintains the integrity of the traditional style. 

The song is both an instant throwback to another time and a modern classic. With just one listen, your toes feel equally buried in the sandy beaches of Rio ’24 or ’64. Corinne is an old soul who offers both sanctuary to tradition and a pioneering modern style. If Corinne has her way, “Tickled Pink” will be the new black this summer.

The Rookies

Born: July 4, 1984

The Rookies were born in the spring of 2014 on the forgotten end of Brunswick Street in a dimly lit room full of sweat and beer at The Rooks Return. What started as a quiet set of background jazz for punters while they imbibed their cocktails quickly devolved into an uninhibited, drunken dance party reminiscent of a time almost forgotten. Band leader Greg Sher (alto saxophone) is joined by Tom Sly (trumpet), Joel Trigg (piano), Oscar Neyland (double bass) and Chris Cameron (drums and cymbals), with special guests from Australia and overseas sitting in every week. Their weekly parties are never the same as the band effortlessly jumps genres, twisting and contorting old world repertoire into something idiosyncratically their own

Eric Hofbauer Quintet

Born: January 31, 1974

Prehistoric Jazz is a concert program and sister recordings (volumes 1 and 2) which features Hofbauer’s jazz quintet arrangements of both Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Messiaen’s Quartet For The End Of Time. The program title was inspired by video footage of Leonard Bernstein rehearsing The Rite of Spring in 1987 where he instructs the timpanist to play his part like “prehistoric jazz.” Hofbauer’s quintet arrangements synthesize the most memorable melodic and rhythmic elements from the original scores with jazz improvisation. Stravinsky revolutionized the music world in 1913 with his use of extreme dissonance and shocking rhythmic energy

Glen Wagstaff

Born: April 23, 1989

Glen Wagstaff is a US born composer and guitarist based in Christchurch, New Zealand. He received his musical training at the CPIT MusicArts School.

In 2011, he received the Jack Urlwin Scholarship for his arranging portfolio. This afforded him the opportunity to travel to the U.S. for several months and immerse himself in the vibrant jazz scene in New York and Toronto. This was a hugely inspirational experience for Glen and following his return to New Zealand, he formed his own 10 piece group in 2012 featuring faculty and fellow graduates of CPIT. During the past few years, Glen has written new material for a full jazz big band
