Auckland Jazz Orchestra presents a heartfelt tribute to the late New Zealand jazz pianist and composer Phil Broadhurst (1949–2020).
Featuring 10 new arrangements of Broadhurst’s compositions, arranged by members of the band with a connection to Phil.
Broadhurst sadly passed away in 2020, before completion of this project, but his impact on jazz in Aotearoa cannot be overstated. Through his storied career as a pianist, composer, bandleader, broadcaster and educator, he championed original music and musicians, and was the first jazz musician awarded an MNZM in 2001 for services to music. We offer these wonderful sounds to his legacy.
This programme was also presented in the Auckland Arts Festival 2024.
