Oscar Lavën Quintet
Wellington-based dynamic saxophonist & multi-instrumentalist Oscar Lavën joins forces with heavyweight Auckland musicians Jonathan Crayford, Aleister Campbell, David Schavits and Thomas Friggens, building musical bridges between Wellington and Auckland for a special kaleidoscopic array of collaborative music.
This quintet will extrapolate on a selection of Lavën's original music - some from Lavën's recently released album 'Elegant Calamity', and some music specifically for this group.
Lavën has played with many notable artists such as John Beasley's MONKestra, Steve Gadd, James Carter, Dave Weckl, Peter Erskine, Lalah Hathaway, Clay Jenkins and more. His effervescent style draws on an eclectic musical background of early swing music, New Orleans traditional, straight-ahead, spiritual jazz, classical music, blues, and 50s bar-walking Rock and Roll sax.
Don't miss this unique musical meeting, one night only.
