Welcome to juztjazz
Who are we? MJ & the NewZeals is a great jazz/groove trio consisting of Malia and Aaron Stewart, (father and son), with Newtown Rock Steady drummer Andy Hoy, and the very talented Mike Jensen also on drums, and the highly skilled, intuitive Jacqui Nyman on double bass.
Bio. We are a highly skilled and experienced jazz group comprising three graduates from the NZ School of Music with Jazz Performance Degrees.
- We perform in Wellington and on the Kāpiti Coast at the Wellington Jazz Festival, Manawatu Jazz Festival, restaurants, The Southern Cross and other bars in the Wellington region, also for weddings, and corporate events.
- We have played in Wellington region for some time and been regular performers at Gatsby Tapas, Italian in Cuba, Le Metropolitain and played jazz at St Peters on Willis.
- We play cool smooth jazz in a wide range of styles, spicing up standards with a modern groove. With great energy and enthusiasm, we play quiet mellow background music or speed it up and get funkier.
- Our primary emphasis in performing is to engage with the audience. By responding to them, the band members get caught up in an exciting inspiring cycle, communicating an energy that is compelling—we are there to impart this feeling and are not just playing for ourselves.
- Advertising: To complement your marketing we post on Facebook, community newspapers and Radio, and email 350 Wellington Jazz Club members.
