ABOUT

The Orbit is South Africa's only jazz club. Situated in Braamfontein, Joburg, the venue has hosted all the top SA jazz artists and many international acts. If you've never been there, you're in for a treat - amazing ambience, fantastic staff, a beautiful stage (with a grand piano) and great sound.


All music, but jazz in particular, plays an enormously important role in our lives. We humans are social animals. Whether we're solving problems, exploring our dreams, or developing our economy, it all requires interaction - satisfying electrical moments between people - and lots of listening. From this we develop understanding, then trust and when finally the good stuff appears, it feels like ghosts from the mist.


When this happens, there will always be music present. From big expensive moments like the World Cup final or presidential inauguration to small moments like the first candlelit dinner between two people who like each other, music is there like the ocean beneath our little boat.


Too often, modern life suggests that we reach out and grab what we can. Today, I'm suggesting that we do it the ancient way - reach out and give something and then get something back.


And you can help further by sharing this page with anyone you know loves music. But hurry, it's only until 19th Sept. On the 20th Sept I will be emailing you to deliver your purchase.
