WJC is an artist-run non-profit project established to promote and encourage new original music influenced by the jazz genre.
New Year new venue. We are pleased to announce that the WJC 2021 headliner series will be at Lovebite on 2 Forresters Lane, Wellington. Some may remember this venue as the Motel Bar that famously turned away Hollywood actress Liv Tyler. Seating is limited and pre-purchased tickets will be essential.
