Music Fridays - Pizazz (1)

On Friday, October 18th jazz band Pizazz returns for a delightful evening of live music.

Pizazz has been entertaining the people of Marlborough since 2014. This duo comprises Heather Jameson, internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter-performer-director, already well established in Marlborough, and Alistair McLeod - internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist who defected from Wellington in 2013. These two share an uncanny ability to draw the audience in to their unique style of performance.

Along with the easy-going jazz standards, the favourite thing for Pizazz to do is to take a classic rock song and reinvent it in a unique style.

Originally from the Hawkes Bay and the Chatham Islands, Tristan Gregory-Hunt is well known saxophonist in the Marlborough region. He has been performing music since 2007 and has studied jazz performance at the renowned New Zealand School of Music. Tristan has participated in Blenheim Musical Theatre productions such as Blue Eyes 2022 and Pricilla Queen of the Desert in 2023 on stage, and performed in Stars in Your Eyes 2023 presented by Creative Kids NZ as Kenny G. He is a regular performer at gigs and music festivals.
