Not Your Uncle's Jazz 4

Not Your Uncle's Jazz – Fourth Edition

Not Your Uncle's Jazz returns for its fourth edition with another carefully curated evening where live performance, vinyl culture, poetry, and community come together in one immersive experience.

This edition features a powerful live performance by Jamson Chaba Ensemble, Jazzy Jigo and Mamello Pule on the decks, while acclaimed poet Mak Manaka brings spoken word that connects music, memory, and the present moment.

Not Your Uncle's Jazz is a cultural platform that challenges the idea of jazz as something reserved for nostalgia. It's a space where music, literature, urban culture, and conversation intersect.

Since its inception, the platform has continued to grow, from intimate gatherings to sold-out editions, proving that there is an audience eager for bold, contemporary jazz experiences that honour tradition while pushing the culture forward.

Expect:

• Live jazz performance
• Vinyl DJ sets
• Spoken word poetry
• A thoughtfully curated listening experience
• A community of music lovers, creatives, and cultural enthusiasts

Whether you're a lifelong jazz listener or discovering the music for the first time, this isn't about what jazz used to be! It's about where it's going!

Line-up

• Jamson Chaba Ensemble (Live)

• Jazzy Jigo (DJ Set)

• Mamello Pule (DJ Set)

• Mak Manaka (Poetry)

Come listen. Come connect. Come experience jazz, broer! Not Your Uncle's Way.
