Body

Five of Pōneke's finest improvisors converge on the Pyramid Club to channel "electronic space jazz"!
-
Tom Callwood (double bass) is an improvisor and collaborator who has performed throughout NZ and the UK. He’s a regular in the local experimental and popular music scenes with bands including The Phoenix Foundation, Teeth & Devils Gate Outfit.

-

Anthony Donaldson is one of this country's great drummers and a pioneer of improvised music in Aotearoa. He has been a creative force in Wellington music for over four decades and continues to push the boundaries of accepted musical norms.

-

Lucien Johnson is a New Zealand saxophonist, composer, and theatre maker. In recent years he has focussed on creating his own unique jazz sound, shrouded in wonder and mystique. His last album, “Wax///Wane” received rave reviews internationally, with France Musique calling it “Bewitching and Astonishing” and London Jazz News describing it as “Mystical, a touch retro and increasingly spellbinding”.

-

Dayle Jellyman is a keyboardist, guitarist, composer and man of many bands - from regular jazz sessions to the positive punk of Love Party and the apocalyptic metal of Fvkvshima.

-

Vocalist and electronic musician Jonny Marks has been a key figure in the creative music scene in Wellington since the early 2000s. Modulating his vocal chords like a synthesizer, Jonny moves between sub-bass drones to ring modulated whistle tones with his voice alone - and now in a spellbinding combination with a beloved Synthi AKS.
