A taste of a New Zealand jazz ensemble's music
by editors@theworld.org (Marco Werman) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6ZM0R)
The Circling Sun is a jazz collective that hails from Auckland, New Zealand, or as the ensemble refers to its country in the Maori language: Aotearoa. There are nods in the music to Maori culture, but the group's main influence is Brazilian jazz from the 1970s. Co-hosts Carolyn Beeler and Marco Werman give the group a listen.
