About the band

The  Red and  Black Jazz Band were formed in 1984  in Canterbury rugby's Ranfurley shield heydays.

The Rugby Union wanted a band to play at Lancaster park before the game to entertain the crowd  -  the band had to be mobile and be able to stay out of  "can-throwing range".

 The band did the street parades for the Rugby Union and went on to play at many events where a band was required to entertain and be mobile, including the opening of the Westpac stadium.

It is made up of a group of four friends who express their friendship in their expression of their music, which is mainly dixieland jazz.
