Event details

By 1923, the Jazz Age was in full swing in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, with venues ranging from The Dixieland to Trades Hall, The Cafeteria and the Click Clack Cabaret.

A century later, this talk takes you on a digital tour of Auckland’s jazz venues in the 1920s.

Join Dr Aleisha Ward as she explores the bands, audiences, and scandalous behaviour that had morality campaigners concerned for the safety of people’s characters.

Presented by: Auckland Council Libraries
