Joe Sample (right) performs on Thursday August 28 at the Standard Bank Arena in Johannesburg in the first performance of this year’s Joy of Jazz festival.
This award-winning jazz maestro is also a founding member of the famous Crusaders quartet, and combines funk and soul in an incomparable manner.
The support line-up is equally impressive: hear “post-bop altoist” Donald “Duck” Harrison, who rose to fame with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers; Zimbabwean star Oliver Mtukudzi; and Durban multi-instrumentalist Bheki Mseleku.
Tickets are R125, R175 and R200 at Computicket.
Five readers can each win two CDs — Oliver Mtukudzi’s Shanda Soundtrack and Bheki Mseleku’s Home at Last — to celebrate the arrival of Joy of Jazz, courtesy of Sheer Sound.
Simply e-mail [email protected] before or on Friday August 29 and name the award-winning jazz man playing at the Standard Bank Area.
