AUDIENCE REVIEWS/COMMENTS:

“What can one say about High Society - 'Smokin Hot' is someone else's description. I'd say that Nicole Chesterman and her band are top jazz musicians who treated Taranaki Jazz Club to an evening of stunning, high energy entertainment. Nicole wove her showbiz background into a hotpot of seriously good music, fun and individuality. Every member of the band excelled so I can only single out tunes. Dave Brubeck's difficult and challenging Take Five was superb and one of my favourite swinging tunes 'It's all about the jazz' gave Post Modern Jukebox one hellava nudge.”
