Royal New Zealand Airforce Jazz Orchestra

Jazz in Martinborough is thrilled to be bringing you the Royal New Zealand Airforce Jazz Orchestra as our feature act for 2025. We’re delighted to be able to fill the stage with a full-sized big band of fabulous musicians, and the Town Hall with the fantastic sounds of the big band era.

Staying true to the tradition of swing and improvisation the orchestra draws on their own rich history dating back to the original ‘swing era’. The Jazz Orchestra is a national trailblazer in big band history and features New Zealand compositions, and a classic repertoire from the golden era of big band swing jazz of Ellington and Basie.

The band benefits from a depth of talent that most military bands around the world would only dream of and is made up of Wellington’s most exceptional musicians.
