Don’t miss the 31st annual UKZN Jazz Jol
The event is held at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music on 6 April.
THE Centre for Jazz and Popular Music presents the 31st annual UKZN Jazz Jol on Saturday, 6 April at 7pm.
Traditionally scheduled for the second half of the year, the event has been brought forward to accommodate a visit by Prof Darius Brubeck, who founded the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music, which commemorates its 30th anniversary this year.
In another break from tradition, the funds generated from the Jol will be donated to the Durban chapter of Amnesty International, with new chapters at the UKZN School of Law, the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine, and six local schools, with funds going to set them on the path, in their efforts to fight for human rights.

Anchoring proceedings will be bassist Ildo Nandja, who will be visiting from the Netherlands.
General admission is R100, R80 for pensioners and R50 for students with a student card. Contact Thuli on 031 260 3385 or email: Zamat1@ukzn.ac.za.
