Music feature: Jazz tours in Aotearoa in bygone days

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 21 November 2023

For today's music featureĀ  we're zeroing in on a period when some of the biggest names in jazz history made their way onto our shores.

There are many highlights to talk about from these decades, and who better to talk about them with than Dr Aleisha Ward.

Aleisha is one of our most prominent jazz historians and a teaching fellow at the University of Auckland.
