(Jim Gorissen)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will present
Nederland’s guitarist Jim Gorissen on July 29.
Gorissen is a regular visitor in Durban. In 2012 he had an
opportunity to play with local band Masquenada and local musician Shomon
Daniel, at the Spogweni festival. He returned annually and performed with a
range of well-loved local musicians at The Jazzy Rainbow and the KZNSA Gallery.
He will play with a local band and mix music from the
hinterlands of Brazil with known repertoire from big cities like Rio de
Janeiro, Bahia, and Sao Paulo. The Samba, Bossa Nova, Partido alto Frevo and
numbers form a swinging and cheerful palette of rhythm, melody and harmony.
Gorissen is a multi-talent as illustrated by his activities
in various fields such as Salsa and Latin, swing and jazz, rock and pop, North
African Rai, etc. He has been a teacher since 2003 and manages his own school
"Guitar World".
Jim Gorrisen will be joined by Logan Byrne (double bass); Shem
Mahabeer (piano); Bruce Baker (drums), and Richard Ellis (percussions) with
special guest Thulile Zama (Heels over Head) and powerful Shomon on vocals.
