KZ7 Jazz Duo

KZ7 Duo – featuring Dixon Nacey (guitar) and Chris Melville (vocals) – is a refined jazz pairing known for its subtlety, sensitivity, and deep musical connection.

Blending a jazz sensibility with gently reimagined soul and contemporary classics, the duo creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and immersive. Their performances unfold organically, with songs stretching, folding, and reshaping in real time as they listen and respond to one another – no two renditions are ever quite the same.

KZ7 Duo is perfectly suited to corporate events and weddings where elegant, unobtrusive background music is essential, while also offering beautifully restrained concert performances for audiences seeking something more introspective and emotionally resonant.

A quiet nod to Auckland’s sailing history, the name “KZ7” references the America’s Cup yacht skippered by Chris Dixon – a subtle link between precision, flow, and the art of performance.
