The upcoming
Wellington Jazz Festival boast the usual riches you'd expect - top
overseas artists like singer Dianne Reeves, guitarist Bill Frisell and
drummer Dave Wecki, and some stellar local talent like Tammi Neilson
and Jonathan Crayford. But even those who're not in the know about
jazz, the festival boasts two names will have have heard of. In fact
they're probably two of anyone's top ten list of New Zealand musicians
- trombonist and big band king, Rodger Fox, and classical pianist
Michael Houstoun. Jazz and classical? they talk to Simon Morris about
how it all works.

The Logie Collection of Canterbury
University is one of the small miracles of this country - treasures of
the Ancient World from classical Greece and Rome, right back to the
Bronze Age - 7000 BC. And when the first big earthquake struck
Christchurch in September 2010, there were fears that the priceless
collection - described as "one of Australasia's finest collections
of classical art" would be utterly destroyed. Well it was and it
wasn't. The Logie Collection has a brand-new home - the Teece Museum of
Classical Antiquities - and last week it was proudly displayed in an
exhibition called We Could Be Heroes. But it certainly didn't look like
it at the time. Simon Morris is joined by Terri Elder and Penny
Minchin-Garvin, the co-curators of the museum.
