Jazz on Friday

Jazz on Friday

Another reason to be happy its finally Spring ... The new sea­son of Jazz on Friday, fea­tur­ing the Cape Dutch Connection, kicks off on 29 October 2010 and con­tin­ues every Friday until 1 April 2011 from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.  This sea­son, the band will be play­ing at a new venue, Col'Cacchio Pizzeria in Huguenot Street, Franschhoek.

Band leader Derk Blaisse says the venue, which they tried out at a per­form­ance dur­ing the Bastille Festival in July, is per­fect.  “The garden at Col’Cacchio has a won­der­ful coun­try feel and is set against the back­drop of the Franschhoek moun­tains.  Being in the main road we have the advant­age of attract­ing passers-by and the vibe of being in the middle of a cos­mo­pol­itan vil­lage. I think we are going to have a fant­astic sum­mer sea­son.” Continued

Jou ma se goema

A friend of mine shared a video about goema recently on Facebook. Since I don't have a clue what goema is, my interest was more than a little piqued. Mostly because this par­tic­u­lar friend of mine has intro­duced me to the sounds of Cape Town jazz in her own way.

Her house, up until recently, was a one-stop-shop for Cape Town musi­cians who used her lounge for jam­ming ses­sions, and any occa­sion that war­ran­ted it (and a fair num­ber of those that didn't) would find her home full to bust­ing — sing­ers with micro­phones, any num­ber of gui­tars, the piano and even the odd double bass — I tried not to be there on birth­days, New Year, pub­lic hol­i­days... you can see how this might have interfered with our friend­ship some­what.

Cape Town Jazz Safari

Cape Town Jazz Safari

Cape Town Jazz Safari

Reviewed by the New York Times as 'gritty authen­ti­city' and revered by the loc­als as authen­tic grooves, easy listen­ing in Cape Town is a musical must. Take in live jazz in the liv­ing rooms of liv­ing musi­cians. Sit at the din­ing room table that com­forts the local jazz­ing legends of moody tunes and absorb them carving out rhythm in a private per­form­ance at their private residence.

A jazz safari will open the city's hid­den alley­ways with a secret hand­shake and a nod that allows access to oth­er­wise unre­vealed hot­spots. A con­stant soul pro­vider through­out his­toric spaces of pain, Jazz has been a cul­tural com­pan­ion of Capetonians through­out the South African struggle. Brass notes, ivory keys and gui­tar strings con­tin­ues to weave sounds and silences into an even­ing excur­sion of saun­ter­ing and social­ising ... Continued
