30 November 2007
Today we say goodbye to November and Hello to December. Can you believe it 2007 is almost over? Well enough about that, let me just inform you about today’s show.
Monday Night Jam Sessions
We opened today’s show with Alvin Dyers and he spoke about the Monday night Jazz Jam Sessions that takes place in Wetton and features himself (Alvin Dyers) and Gary Van Dyk hosting a session of music featuring young musicians in the community who are get a chance to perform with some of the legends on the local scene, and international players when they pop in for a visit.
‘You may arrive here as a stranger, but leave as a friend of local music’
The session takes place at Swingers, 1 Wetton Road, Wetton every Monday night. It starts at 9pm and entrance is free
So if you a jazz fan, I recommend that you be there.

Greatmore Studios
We were later joined in-studio by Tambu Sibanda and Anu Tuomisaari from Geatmore Studios.
‘The studios brings together artists from diverse cultural and national backgrounds in a working environment that encourages new ideas and stimulates professionalism, creativity and productivity’
‘Greatmore studios was established in November 1998 in Woodstock, Cape Town in a response to the need for studio space and art-making facilities by a cross-section of the city’s artists’
Fourteen studios are rented as private spaces where local artists work on a full-time basis.
The artists are required to participate in outreach programmes. Some of these include: slide shows and workshops to lectures and presentations at various local institutions and schools as well as in communities

Sekunjalo Edujazz Concert
Another one for jazz fans out there, we ended the show with Zenariah Barends, executive director of Sekunjalo cooperate services. And she spoke to us about the seventh annual Sekunjalo Edujazz Concert.
‘The concert has become a fixture on the Cape’s music calendar’
Just to wet your appetite, here’s a taste of what you can look forward to when you attend the concert…the evening will be headed by the Darryl Andrews Jazz Band, a 13-piece powerhouse Latin/Funk ensemble with the only 6-horn band in South Africa and featuring some of the country’s hottest emerging and established musicians…I think that I should stop now before I give you the whole line-up. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you now….
The concert will be taking place on Sunday (2 December 2007) at the Baxter Theatre at 7pm. This is a one night performance only. Tickets cost R60.
