‘Vintage’ jazz gigs

By

Following the successful launch of their acoustic Sundowner Sessions in October last year, TwoTone Music returns with another instalment of their ‘Vintage’ jazz gigs at the NMMU Music Conservatoire in Bird Street on 30 April.

‘Vintage Vol.2’ once again features TwoTone director and NMMU Jazz Vocal Lecturer Ulagh Williams (piano & vocals), Grant Allison (double bass) and Bevin Maschaka (drums). There will also be guest appearances by NMMU Jazz Vocal Students.

‘We have some amazingly talented students, says Williams. ‘Some have been performing professionally with TwoTone for several years, whilst for others this will be their debut with the TwoTone Band.’

The ‘Vintage’ concept features old school jazz standards as well as fresh jazzy interpretations of well known popular music, with the addition of a few clever technological tricks.

The band will be swinging their way through music from very diverse artists – Frank Sinatra, Natalie Cole, Postmodern Jukebox, George Michael, Robbie Williams, Caro Emerald and many more. ‘Even classic rock and pop anthems will get the TwoTone treatment,’ says Williams. ‘ There really is nothing like a grand piano and double bass to transport an audience and make one feel glamorous!’

Tickets cost R100 pp and seating is limited. For bookings, please email info@twotonemusic.co.za or call Ulagh on 083 627 4686.

The show starts at 19h00 and there will be a cash bar during interval. NMMU Student Card holders will be allowed free entrance.
