Celebrate Love Month with Heels over Head on February 15 at The
Rock Music Bistro in Umzumbe and on February 27 at The Jazzy Rainbow in Durban.
Heels over Head is an all-female jazz band from the shores
of Durban. The love of jazz music wove these girls together towards the end of
2008 to form this unique musical force. Since then the girls are always
occupied with composing, rehearsing and recording new music and with lots of
performances around KwaZulu-Natal and the country.
Their music is referred to as smooth jazz or easy-breezy pop
jazz, they developed a notable and clever signature sound that consists of
current African-influenced music and uniquely re-arranged standards. The band
is known for making the audience get on their feet and dance to their rhythmic
bass lines and their cheerful melodies.
With their sparkling stage presence the ladies always look
classy and stylish and you cannot miss the charm and charisma of their lead
vocalists Thulile Zama and Nomkhosi Mazibuko. They are joined by skilled
drummer Rebekah Pillay and accomplished pianist Mandy Cobbing. Last but not
least smoking hot guitarist Chillie Stent joins the band and the flaming fusion
of musicians is complete.
No doubt that fans take joy in listening to some Heels over
Head; the African jazz ambiance, skilled musicians and vocalists and well-founded
rhythm works enchanting.
For this Love Month they have something special prepared for
their audience: "Whether you are single or not, it is always important to
give love and receive love from friends and family. Without some love, life
would be very grey. This is the message we want to spread during our love month
concerts." says vocalist Thulile Zama.
