Jazz from Primitive Art
Christchurch TZr Festival
The Primitive Art Group specialises in jazz. For the last five years the Wellington group z have moved from improvisation to marching tunes, Dixieland jazz, Be-Bop, classical, ethnic and other traditions. Collective improvisation is still the aim of the group, however. The musicians,
Anthony and David Donaldson, David Watson, Neill Duncan and Stuart Porter, have studied and performed in a variety of musical idioms. The group has toured New Zealand in the last three years and appeared in the television series, “Nock on Jazz.” The group recently recorded a sound track for Jaipie Bull and Michael Smither’s work, “Back Beach Time,” a visual dance piece. The repertoire will include music by Albert Ayler, Ornette Colmart, Cecil Taylor and Steve Lacey. The Primitive Art Group will give two Christchurch Festival performances at the State Trinity Theatre on March 7 and 8. They will also take part in the Fringe Festival on March 8 and 9.
