Bebop Lives!

Lockie Bennett's 'Boplicity' Quartet

Lockie Bennett’s ‘Boplicity’ Quartet features some of New Zealand’s hardest working and hardest swinging jazz musicians. The quartet specialises in the bebop tradition, taking inspiration from the likes of Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Barry Harris.

Lockie Bennett, a graduate of the New Zealand School of Music, is regarded as one of the most in-demand jazz guitarists in New Zealand. This new and exciting quartet features NZ jazz icon, John Rae on drums, Alex Trask on alto saxophone and Elijah Mulheron on bass.
