This enabled Jim Thorne to spend more time playing saxaphone in the band, something he prefers to do.

Ages of the band range from 14 to 70. Young musicians from the Whangarei Youth Concert Band who are showing potential are given an opportunity to play with the band.

The Northern Jazz Society is greatful to Wards Music Store for their sponsorship and support.
