Dig the rhythms, East FM, Saturday from midday...

Phil from Farm Cove

In Green eloquently and dynamically represents jazz in the now, and future, beautifully and thoughtfully expressed by musicians of the highest order. They’re mates, too.

Taylor Griffin, as his press department writes, ‘is a new and emerging artist, drummer and producer from Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’.

In Green reached No. 9 in the NZ Album Charts, and got to No. 5 in the Top 10 Albums in Independent Music NZ. It’s co-produced and mixed by master musician Nathan Haines.
‘In Green EP represents a large body of work that began its life during Taylor’s time at Auckland University, where he studied jazz under internationally renowned musicians including Ron Samsom, Chris O’Connor, Roger Manins, Oli Holland, and Kevin Field.’

The EP was written and produced after the third lockdown. ‘And represents a shift in the way forward, in light of modern and global changes. In Green EP explores modern jazz through the lexicon of heavy grooves and Latin flavours with tasteful and lush sounds masterfully mixed in.’

Taylor recently returned from London where he’s begun recording new music for a later release (full-length album), ‘with the legendary Kiwi expat Dave Holmes at Lightship 95. In doing so he’s collaborated with London based artists such as Arjuna Oakes, Rudi Creswick (bass player for Tom Misch), Pluum, Dylan Jones and Ben Vize.’

In Green EP credits:
Written and produced by Taylor Griffin. Co-produced and mixed by Nathan Haines at Zoot Music. Taylor Griffin, drums, percussion, vocals. Nathan Haines, flute, soprano saxophone.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
