Welcome to Jazz in Cape Town - your backstage pass to the city’s vibrant, eclectic and ever-surprising jazz scene.
I’m exploring the venues that keep live jazz alive in the Mother City, from long-running institutions to hidden neighbourhood gems. Along the way, I’m chatting to the legendary (and often hilarious) characters who’ve shaped the scene, as well as the rising stars carrying it forward.
If you’re curious about where to hear the best bands, which nights are worth pencilling in, or you just love the sound and stories of Cape Town jazz, you’re in the right place. New episodes feature real musicians, real venues and the heartbeat of a city that swings in its own way.
