Geoff Culverwell is one of New Zealand's most prolific horn players, playing sessions from big band lead to pop and jazz recording.

He has toured with a host of international acts and headlined on his own behalf, gigging at presigeous overseas venues, from Ronnie Scott's in London, to Paris, Poland, Montreaux, Sydney, Melbourne, New York and LA.

Recent shows have included headlining at the Wellington & Queenstown international jazz festivals. In 2005 he presented his 'Chet Baker Tribute' Show at the Christchurch International Jazz Festival (now available on CD), plus the Queenstown Winterfest jazz night. His solo session work can be heard on the Roy Philips album and the award winning 'Rhombus' CD (2004), horn arrangements on Brannigan Ka's #1 Maori language CD plus movie & TV themes (currently playing 'Goodbye Pork Pie' etc.) He is also in demand as a jazz clinician and brass tutor.

Music has been a life-time passion for Geoff. A master of the trumpet and one of the most prolific and cutting edge jazz musicians currently on the New Zealand scene, he plays TV shows, film sessions, and personal club dates. His festival performances are legendary with a variety of talented side-men and combos offering many different directions in sound. His playing has a hallmark of distinction, soulful, passionate and refreshing.

Geoff`s two great passions in life are his music and his love of horses.
