Ardern is confused as to which party is in power!

And then in post-cab, Ardern inexplicably tried to shift responsibility to the Nats despite Labour's clear parliamentary majority.

"I really would challenge, for instance, the National Party to consider their position on this issue."

Jazz in the Night: Sarah McKenzie – Jazz San Javier 2019

Australian pianist, singer and composer Sarah McKenzie is one of the most pleasing surprises of the younger generation of jazz musicians. Compared by the critics to Diana Krall and Blossom Dearie, Sarah possesses an accentuated lyricism and a great sense of swing . Ángel Sopena rightly affirmed in his review of her performance at Jazz San Javier “One would stay and listen to her all night”. Such is the magnetism and serene beauty radiated by this great artist. Her new album “Paris in the Rain”, a magnificent compendium of jazz standards and own compositions edited by the legendary label Impulse, is a good reason to invite her back to Jazz Javier where she is well remembered.

LINEUP:

Sarah McKenzie (piano and singer)
Hugo Lippi (guitar)
Pierre Boussaguet (double bass)
Sebastiaan de Krom (drums)
Julien Alour (trumpet)
“Plume” (bari sax)
Gabor Bolla (tenor sax)
