The Wellington Jazz Festival kicks off today. To mark the occassion, last night APRA AMCOS announced the winner of their 2023 Best Jazz Composition Award.
You just heard part of the winning tune, 'Dream Within A Dream' by composer and saxophonist Louisa Williamson.
The full track is an 11-minute opus that of the judges described as "both peaceful and full of surprise... imaginative and daring".
It is taken from her debut album 'What Dreams May Come', which another judge said will be "looked on in decades to come as one of New Zealand's great jazz albums". Louisa speaks to Jesse.
