Hot Club d'Afrique

So last night I was at a function at Il Giardino in Milpark and when I arrived there was this little outfit playing the most wonderful Gypsy Jazz, replete with accordion, two Gitane moustache bridge guitars and a very good vocalist - whom you won't go blind watching either ?

I really enjoyed their music and asked for their business card afterwards. Turns out they play there every Wednesday evening. I'll definitely go back some time for another dose.

They have a website (with almost no info on it): http://www.africangypsyjazz.com

And here's a video I found of them on Youtube:

That guitar has a distinct sound, Isn't this just down the road from the SABC?

Bob-Dubery

Yeah. In Stanley avenue, near Atlas studios.

So it is. Probably about a chip and a putt from the "Uitsaaisentrum" in Artillerie road. Come to think of it, the chip will have to be over the UJ Bunting Rd. campus.
