(Brayden Hore, Devon
Hore, Janice Joseph & Mthunzi Mchunu)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will present 5th
Season Jazz band on October 12.
The ethnically diverse and proudly
South African Durban-based band will perform in celebration of their debut
album Symmetry that was launched in
October 2015.
Symmetry is the
result of many months of planning and reflects the band’s diversity and
heritage. It is a blend of re-arrangements of jazz standards and original
compositions, and is collectively very easy listening, which will no doubt
appeal to the more discerning music lover. 5th Season is currently working on their
release of their second album due to be completed by end of February 2017, as
well as a special live instrumental Trio album.
Having met whilst studying Jazz & Popular Music at UKZN
back in 2010, founder members of the band, brothers Devon & Brayden Hore teamed
up with talented guitarist Mthunzi Mchunu (Mo). The trio, with their shared
passion for Ballads, Swing, Smooth & African jazz, as well as
commercial/pop with a jazz element, have been establishing themselves as a
go-to-band in KZN under the name 5th Season (meaning an exciting and new season
in music), and have travelled the province since, exposing their talents at
various functions consisting of festivals, private functions, corporate events
and weddings.
The Trio expanded its musical offering to include the
extremely versatile vocalist Janice Joseph, also a product of UKZN. Janice’s
voice compliments the talents of the musicians & in short, completes 5th
Season as a band.
5th Season featuring Brayden Hore (bass), Devon Hore (drums),
Janice Joseph (vocals), Mthunzi Mchunu (guitar) and Ryan Pendy (piano) will play
a wide variety of well-known jazz standards and contemporary tunes as well as
original compositions.
Their debut album will be available on the night. Listen to
