The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music in
conjunction with iSupport Creative Business have taken the initiative to
marshal their resources by presenting a weekly concert, featuring three artists
that will present a 20-minute set each.
To watch the concert there is a charge of
minimum R30 and once sending the Proof of Payment, the audience will receive a
link to the concert. The full contribution of the audience will go straight to
the artists in an effort to support and sustain South Africa’s beloved
musicians through this testing time.
“We take great pride in our curation of
these concerts that ensures that the broad range of music on offer is of a
consistently high standard. We are prioritizing good quality with regard to
audio, video and of course, performance,” says a Centre for Jazz
representative.
The second concert in the series will take
place tomorrow (Wednesday, April 15, 2020) and features the well-known double
bassist Lex Futshane who will be presenting original compositions and
arrangements of some local and international standards.
Secondly, the concert will feature young
talents, Bandless, performance art collective with members who hail from
various parts of the country. Bandless is not a band, thus they proclaim themselves as an artistic comradery which
encompasses fine art, drama and live music. Their craft is a sonically mirrored
reflection of society's past, present and future.
Lastly vocalist and guitarist Tsholofelo
and her band join the bill. She is performing originals from her debut album
titled Becoming which explores the
notion of home as a feeling recognised within self and within others, as
opposed to home as a physical structure. In it, Tsholofelo explores her
identity as a woman and individual learning about life and love while
reflecting on who she was, her upbringing and home environment. In no
particular genre, she articulates her journey through a blend of different
styles while remaining sonically cohesive.
Musicians can submit a video that is
created especially for the concert, which is likely to be a solo performance or
very small ensemble in this period of social distance. You can also submit
previously recorded videos that are not widely available on the internet, and
are part of your personal archive.
