Frank Talbot Quartet
Raised in Auckland and trained in Wellington where he completed his Bachelor of Music where he was twice named Woodwind Player of the Year, Frank Talbot brings his voice to the Wellington Jazz Cooperative. Having performed with the Rodger Fox Big Band, Royal Air Force Big Band, Mark Donlon’s Quintet alongside Alex Sipiagin and with the New Zealand String Quartet and toured twice internationally with Luis Bonilla’s JM Jazz World Orchestra, Frank has already gained a lot of useful musical experience.
Inspired by the old masters, modern jazz and a wealth of other influences spanning Classical to Heavy Metal, Frank brings a mix of playfulness, energy and deeply personal music and will debut some new original music at the WJC, accompanied by some of Wellington’s finest stalwarts.

Jellyrolls
There is an inescapable sense of fun about this trio – Jon Fenton.
Swinging like crazy, they radiate mischief as they take a dash of Harlem Stride and Fats Waller and mix it with big swing a la Errol Garner and Oscar Peterson. The resplendent Ben Wilcock takes centre stage on piano, joined by the effervescent John Rae on drums and the multifaceted Dan Yeabsley on double bass and occasional saxophones. Fresh from a tour of Scotland, including a sold-out performance at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival, the trio is set to play music from their five releases including The Phantom Canoe, Sneaky Weasel and Live in Cromwell
