Nathan Haines

Bio

Nathan Haines is one of NZ’s most prolific musical exports, fusing jazz and dance music traditions with a discography spanning over 30 years. Well-known as a saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer, Nathan Haines is a genre-bending musician with an instantly recognisable sound and approach.

To date, Haines’ acclaimed career has seen him release 10 albums and countless collaborations, highlighted by his classic albums Shift Left, Squire For Hire and Sound Travels. A multiple-time Jazz Album of the Year winner, Haines has spent his musical life at the forefront of both electronic and jazz music in NZ and beyond.

August 9, 2024 will see the release of Haines’ 11th studio album, Notes - his most personal album to date. His first album in over six years, the album features production from legendary UK producer Phil Asher, one of his final projects before his untimely passing in 2021. While still maintaining the jazz sound and influence he is renowned for, the album sees Haines embracing the electronic/house/disco scene with the album sitting on the jazz end of the electronic spectrum.
