Info for Happy Place



2019 Jazz Artist of The Year award winners make a triumphant return to CJC.

GRG67 is Roger Manins, Mostyn Cole, Tristan Deck and Michael Howell. They have been rehearsing together for a good 6 years or so. However, they are still rough. Rough – but good.

There is a real joy in their music, virtuosity when needed, quirky tunes, great musical communication and lots of energy. You will be interested because they are interested.

Roger Manins
lives in Auckland and is regarded by many as one of the leading Jazz saxophonists in the Southern Hemisphere. He has appeared as Featured Soloist on approximately 30 jazz albums and has released four albums under his own name plus two collaborative works.

Roger's playing is rooted in the jazz tradition and he has been described as the 'rarest of musician that manages to effortlessly marry tradition and individuality, swinging hard-bop with feisty modernism, with a sound that can once charm and excite’.

His recording and performances reflect a deep understanding and love of all jazz styles including Blues, Traditional, Swing, Bossa Nova, Straight-ahead ‘standards’, Hard Bop, Modern Jazz, Latin Jazz and Free Jazz. He is musically open and loves to explore and create new music.

In 2002 Roger won the Wangaratta Australian Jazz Award for Saxophone, and in 2012 was awarded the (JJA) Jazz Journalists Award ‘Jazz Hero’ for services to the community.

Roger is a Senior Lecturer in Jazz at The University Of Auckland. Also active in the music community ahe is co-founder and Artistic Director of CJC Creative Jazz Club Aotearoa, and helps coordinate the Auckland Jazz festival.
