Bio

The Chris Mason-Battley Group's debut album, Karakia, was a finalist for 'Jazz Album of the Year' at the 2000 Tui Awards, and has been one of the most successul NZ albums on the US site MP3.com.

Their latest release, a double album, shows two sides of the bands sound. Side A features 10 new songs which build on the spacious 'jazz meets filmscore' sound heard on Karakia. Side B presents a more acid jazz sound by Luna, a subset of the Chris Mason-Battley Group.

Chris also performs with Blue Train.

Band Members:
Chris Mason-Battley (soprano & tenor sax)
Graeme Webb (acoustic & electric guitar)
David Lines (piano, keyboards)
Sam Giles (bass)
