Reza Khota Trio feat Ariel Zamonsky and Tumi Mogorosi

ABOUT

The Reza Khota and his newly formed Johannesburg Trio featuring Argentinian born bassist Ariel Zamonsky and acclaimed drummer Tumi Mogorosi present an evening of modern music at Mangrove, Thursday 3 March 7pm. Mangrove is steadily becoming a home to a scene of progressive programming of diverse artists in the Joburg scene.

The multi-award winning guitarist is no stranger to the Jazz scene and has worked with a vast array of both classical and jazz musicians both nationally and internationally. Khota certainly has the credentials to make sound compositional and improvisational choices with full volition having submitted to the discipline of classical guitar performance, formal training and holding a Masters degree (in solo guitar performance) from the University of the Witwatersrand. Equally comfortable following the score or allowing it to unfold from the silence, Reza's respect for and knowledge of a wide range of musical traditions is the platform from which he adds his voice to the newCulture significantly with Babu, a project that also features bassist Shane Cooper and whose first offering, Uproots, has been voted into the 20 most important South African albums of the decade by the Mail and Guardian.
