The Jazz in the Native Yards series is presenting ace saxman, McCoy Mrubata, who is teaming up with Swiss saxophonist Mark Hauser in a series of jazz concerts around the country.
The tour, dubbed The McCoy Mrubata/Mark Hauser Project, started up in Johannesburg and travels to Durban and Cape Town. In Cape Town the two saxophonists will be joined by a super-hot band featuring Blake Hellaby (keyboard), Peter Ndlala (bass) and Frank Paco (drums).
To get a feel of the vibe, get up close and view a practice session featuring Hauser and Mrubata with Paul Hanmer, Thembinkosi Mavimbela and Bernice Boikanyo as they work in preparation for their South African tour.
