TelstraClear and the Wellington Jazz Festival presents

Cristian Cuturrufo and his quintet have come to us all the way from Chile and are promising a night of hot entertainment. Cristian picked up the trumpet at age seven and has barely put it down since, producing Latin jazz that throbs with energy.

Fat Freddys Drop's Joe Lindsay AKA Hopepa will be hosting the evening and wrangling local talent to join the international artists on stage. For tonight's jam, he has secured the talents of Jonathan Crayford. This saxophonist splits his time between New York City and Wellington, so make sure you are there to watch the sparks fly when the clocks turn to After Midnight and this mix of musicians take to the stage.
