JAZZ it up at the 25th edition of the ever-popular Standard Bank Jazz Jol on Saturday 31 August from 7pm.

The event will take place at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music which is located at the Howard College campus of the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

A popular feature on the Durban calendar, this year’s event will feature this year’s recipient of the Standard Bank Young Artist Award Shane Cooper. Sharing the stage with Shane Cooper will be members of his band, Kevisan Naidoo on the drums, Reza Khota on the guitar and Justin Bellairs on the alto saxophone.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards the Ronnie Madonsela Scholarship, a scholarship that assists disadvantaged jazz students at UKZN with general support, financial aid, and bursaries. The scholarship also helps fund the traveling and accommodation costs for them to attend educational festivals, such as the annual National Youth Jazz Festival in Grahamstown.

Tickets are R100 a person, R80 for pensioners and R50 for students. There are early bird discounts for R80 a person and group discounts for pensioners at R75 each, per group of ten. To book your tickets contact Thulile Zama on 031 260 3385 or e-mail her on zamat1@ukzn.ac.za. Tickets will also be available at the door on the night.
