Believe it or not, jazz has been jiving in Auckland for some time now. Back in 1918, soldiers returning from war introduced New Zealand’s capital to the genre’s soulful sounds and rhythms. Now, over 100 years later, The Jazz Room in Auckland is treating the city to an electrifying live music show that celebrates the genre’s enduring legacy.
On select dates, the evening journeys through the golden ages of jazz, paying tribute to stars from NOLA and beyond. Whether you like Dixieland jazz or prefer some swing, these performances packed with groovy improvisations as well as jazz classics by Sinatra, Armstrong, Fitzgerald and more.

What is The Jazz Room?
This 60-minute spectacle captures the essence of jazz in its most authentic form—a vibrant, living art that thrives on spontaneity. Set against a dimly lit stage reminiscent of a 1920s New Orleans bar, complete with a street lamp providing atmospheric illumination, the show features expert musicians performing timeless classics like “Georgia On My Mind” by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Louis Prima’s energetic “Sing Sing Sing”.
