The Arvo Show with Stando's with Baxo

Saxophonist Jake Baxendale presents a set of free-wheeling standards, from the burningest swing to tear-jerkingest ballads, with his trio featuring Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa on drums and Phoebe Johnson on bass.

Jake is well known in Wellington for his involvement in modern jazz groups The Jac, Antipodes, the Arthur Street Loft Orchestra and party-time bands such as Richter City Rebels, JB3 and Presidents of Funk. Lesser known is his penchant for ripping on some jazz standards, both classic and esoteric. Gigs like this are an opportunity to hear him and his group dig deep into music with no strings attached!
