Aotearoa all-star jazz collective The Circling Sun are performing their new album Spirits

Doors at 8pm, Show starts 8.30pm sharp.

New Zealand’s jazz luminaries have assembled to form an all-star cluster: The Circling Sun.

Aucklands jazz scene has seen a wild and wonderful revival of late, but one band in particular has been leading the cosmic charge, The Circling Sun.

The Circling Sun is an ever-mutating collective of Tāmakai Makaurau’s absolute finest, including Julien Dyne, JY Lee, Guy Harrison, Cam Allen, Matt Hunter, and more. Known for their world class, psychedelic and intense, good times live sets, the team have been working away in secret to boil down their essence onto one stonking LP.

Championed by Gilles Peterson, and out on the incredible Soundway Records label, Spirits is a contemplative masterclass in spiritual space jazz, inspired by the likes of Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, all while delving headfirst into the future of music itself.

Witness the band in all their glory for one spectacular and very special show at the Wellington Jazz Festival 2023.
