Those who attended the Amstel Golden Hour Sessions last month couldn’t stop raving about Zakes Bantwini‘s brilliance on stage. Apparently the light rain couldn’t dampen the spirits as the masses danced to Zakes‘ fresh and catchy sounds. Plans are well ahead for this month’s edition of the event that runs until December.

Some time last month an article I wrote about Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco‘s possible inclusion on the lineup for the Cape Town International Jazz Festival was published by City Press. Unfortunately, his name was not featured in a video with the final part of the lineup that Rashid Lombard played us. When asked about the news, Rashid confirmed that they had been in talks with Lupe and his management. However, he couldn’t make it... 

Last month’s main attraction at the Amstel Golden Hour Sessions was RJ Benjamin as he continued his farewell tour as a performer.

I’m sure many remember the silver screen adaptation of this production that was directed by Bill Condon a few years ago.

Looking at the plot of The Town, you’ll be forgiven for thinking it’s something you’ve seen before. Well, that’s somewhat true as the film is essentially about a cash heist. However, the way the plot unravels and the style of directing is refreshing. The acting was also superb. Rebecca Hall, who I was so impressed with on Woody Allen‘s Vicki Christina Barcelona alongside Scarlet Johanssen, Jarvier Bardem, and Penelope...

This is the new Fourplay band member. Fourplay were here in Jozi recently for the Standard Bank Joy Of Jazz Festival and as they always do, they gave their fans a sterling performance. I had seen them perform a few times before, but I wanted to experience their magic once more, especially since they have a new member in the band. The legendary jazz quartet that has become a staple for jazz music consumers has a brand new album simply titled Let’s...
