The Khanya Jazz Project is an Afro Cuban poli-rhythmic jazz
ensemble founded by Port Elizabeth-born composer/arranger, Ricky Moss. Moss
started out at the Academy of Jazz in New Brighton, PE where he worked with
trumpeter Feya Faku and late Jazz saxophonist, Zim Ngqawana.
The band will play a repertoire that includes re-arranged
jazz standards, smooth, Afro Cuban/latin jazz and original Cape Jazz/Goema. Khanya
Jazz Project endeavours to bring across spiritual energies within its original
melodies & pulsating poli-rhythms.
The band is influenced by the music of Jaco Pistorious,
Stanley Clarke, Quincy Jones, George Duke, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, and
Richard Bona.
