Tenors in Love
June 28 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Greg Rogan and Amity Alton-Lee, collectively known as “Gramity” to their bandmates and musical colleagues, are a husband-and-wife saxophone team, bringing you the classic sound of the twin tenors.
Despite being thought of as “interchangeable” in their various bands, Greg and Amity have quite different musical histories: Greg is a talented multi-instrumentalist who has played in dixieland bands, show bands, concert bands, pop bands, and many jazz ensembles. Amity has had a one-track passion for the tenor saxophone since childhood, studying at NZSM, with her playing firmly rooted in the four Bs: Blues, Ballads, Bebop and Big Bands. She’s also one of Wellington’s busiest saxophone teachers.
Amity and Greg are delighted to put their contrasting, yet complimentary styles together at the Wellington Jazz Club, where they will be joined by local legends Aslan Rowlands and Greg Crayford.
