The 2023 SOUNZ Jazz Recording Project | Ngā Hopuranga Puoro Tautito a SOUNZ is looking for Aotearoa jazz composers and performers to create high-quality recordings (audio and video) of original jazz compositions.

The recordings will be made on December 14 at the Massey Recording Studio in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Following the final editing process, the recordings will be made available for streaming on the SOUNZ website and embedding on the composer’s website.

The project consists of a grant of $2,000, which is awarded to a professional jazz ensemble to perform and record in Wellington a set of 30 minutes of original jazz compositions which have not been recorded professionally before.
