The Zak Pack are a Five piece jazz combo. They have captivated audiences around NZ with their tight arrangements and smooth sound. For this end of year Wellington Jazz Club concert they will play a tribute to the great American Songbook titled ‘Lets Misbehave’.
It will be a treat one ought to experience.

The great American Song Book (Also known as the American standards) is the collection of the most important and influential popular songs and Jazz standards from the early 20th century. It does not refer to any actual book or specific list of songs, but to a loosely defined set including the most popular and enduring songs from the 1920s to the 1950s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film.
