The restrictions that were necessary because of Covid-19 included musicians and venues alike, but things are looking much better for New Zealand. Venues are open and musicians are keen to get back playing their music and bringing entertainment to the community. The Nelson Jazz Club presents two concerts as a musical celebration, ‘Nelson Jazz Live and Well’, showcasing the great variety of jazz available in Nelson.
