SOUNZ Jazz Recording Project | Ngā Hopuranga Puoro Tautito a SOUNZ 2022

The SOUNZ Jazz Recording Project | Ngā Hopuranga Puoro Tautito a SOUNZ aims to create high-quality recordings (audio and video) of original jazz compositions by New Zealand jazz composers. The recordings will be made between 9 am and 5 pm on Wednesday 7 December 2022, at the Massey Recording Studio, Massey University, Wellington. Following the final editing process, the recordings will be made available for streaming on the SOUNZ website and embedding on the composer’s website.

The project consists of a grant of $2,000, which is awarded to a professional jazz ensemble to perform and record in Wellington a set of 30 minutes of original jazz compositions, which have not been recorded professionally before.
