TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME

The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music is proud to present the first “Twosday” gig of their third term with Two Can Play That Game on July 31.

This is a concept by bass player Qhubekani Mthethwa and vocalist Ndu Shezi. The idea behind it is to create depth with the environment, the music and the amount of space brought by the absence of other instruments (mainly piano, and drums; as seen in a jazz set-up). This is also to create an independence of the mind, by allowing one to travel on a musical journey with limitless possibilities.

The duo hopes to appeal to music lovers and out-of-the-box thinkers, not just jazz enthusiasts. Expect a jazz-orientated repertoire which will include some music which might not necessarily be 'jazz', but mostly standards and compositions.

Two Can Play That Game appear in the “Twosday” slot at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music (CJPM), Level 2, Shepstone Building on July 31 at 18h00 (doors opens at 17h30). Tickets R35 (R20 pensioners, R10 students) More information on 031 260 3385 or email: Zamat1@ukzn.ac.za
