Cape Town International Jazz fest unforgettable
Thursday, April 08, 2010
With over 40 international and African bands performing in two days from five different stages to a sell-out crowd - cherry-on-top - the perfect weather. The festival was a great success, and indeed, 'Africa's grandest gathering'.
This year the line-up included, among others, George Benson, Jonathan Butler, Vusi Mahlasela, Rachelle Ferrell, Selaelo Selota, Bilal, Judith Sephuma, Lira, Rick Braun, McCoy Tyner Trio, Toots Thielemans Quartet , Alluo April, Mezzoforte, Stix Hojeng, Musa Manzini, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Ronny Jordan Organ Trio, and TKZee.
