Jazz at The Villa

Before the year 2023 ends, we bring you a magnificent jazz line up in the delicious and intimate setting of Villa Simonne Boutique Hotel in Houghton, Johannesburg.

With the experienced Jazz DJ Charles Leonard opening the afternoon with a torrid set of SA jazz, the day is set and the plateform is ready to welcome vocalist, educator and composer Ziza Muftic to our stage. She has prepared a special set of her and others compositions that she will be performing with Stan Matlou on drums, David Cousins on keys and Amaeshi Ikechi on double bass.

After another DJ set by Charles Leonard, we feature one of the leading voices of SA jazz, all the way from New Brighton in the Eastern Cape, Bra Feya Faku. he will lead his quintet featuring Bra Sydney Mnisi on flute, Bokani Dyer on keys, Nhlanhla Radebe on double bass and Sphelelo Mazibuko on drums. Expect lots of amazing music and an afternoon filled with peaceful beauty.

DJ Charles Leonard will close the afternoon / evening with another set of great sounds from the vinyl turn tables. Amazing and original photographic documents by Siphiwe Mhlambi will be exhibited at The Villa throughout the afternoon.

This very special afternoon of SA Jazz is brought to you by Pegs Music Project and Siphiwe Mhlambi's Expressions, in association with Villa Simonne Boutique Hotel.
