Effervescence is a jazz collaboration that brings together well-known jazz standards and original jazz compositions in fresh, sparkling and elegant interpretations.

Join Effervescence for an intimate evening of music and great dining at Botticelli’s, featuring Niduk Wijetilleke’s sophisticated and stellar keyboard mastery, Guy Halpé’s lyrical and sensitive bass work, and the smooth and engaging vocal artistry of Mike Murane. Special guest performers are also frequently featured.

Niduk Wijetilleke, keyboards
Niduk is a Berklee Music graduate, recently returned to New Zealand. His spiritual and sophisticated approach to jazz makes him a much sought-after performer.

Guy Halpe, basses
Guy’s background in violin, viola and stints with orchestras overseas gives him a uniquely melodic approach to playing bass. He plays standard 6-string, fretless and upright basses.

Michael Murane, vocals
Mike Murane has a polished and swinging vocal style that’s ideal to the standards made popular by Sinatra and Bennett. Mike also performs with many other jazz lineups.
