Cameo Jazz

Picture


Cameo Jazz is made up of a group of very proficient musicians with a wealth of talent and experience between them. Their repertoire is a mix of Jazz/pop standards, original songs, Latin and Blues using instrumental and vocals. Some of the band members have been involved in many Jazz Festivals (Oamaru, Queenstown, Christchurch, Karitane, and Nelson) spanning many years and Cameo Jazz is the latest version of an evolving group. The backing band consists of Phil Myers on guitar, Richard Peters on bass guitar and Paul Gregory on drums. The vocalist (Ali Mander) has performed both locally and internationally. In 2010 Ali spend 6 months in Nice, France performing with local Jazz musicians and bands in cafes, bars and at private functions. Also in 2010 Ali had 2 months in Kona, Hawaii singing with the classical band Sakura Ensemble. In 2014 the Cameo Jazz Quintet entertained at concerts and was the opening band for the Christchurch Musician;s Club Ball in the latter part of the year. They recorded an album of original songs earlier in the year with a grant from the Christchurch Community Arts Council. The Cameo Jazz Trio regularly entertains at weddings and private parties.
