The
1950’s and 60’s was the era of greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Art
Blakey, Horace Silver and Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins
– through them the HardBop sound was born.
Now, Auckland based the NewBop Quintet shines a fresh light on HardBop whilst
recapturing the joy of that era and flouting a close link with the blues and a
strong rhythmical presence. The NewBop Quintet revisits the HardBop ethos in
stunning original tunes and a new take on standards like So What and Straight,
No Chaser.
Formed in 2019 the NewBop Quintet hosts the mecca of New Zealand jazz musicians
– Mike Booth on Trumpet, Pete France on Saxophone, Kevin Field on Piano, Wil
Goodinson on Bass and Frank Gibson, Jr on Drums.
Only performing live at The Wellington Jazz Festival and Auckland venue the
Tuning Fork in June this is a rare opportunity to see these world-renowned
musicians in their most current band the NewBop Quintet.
