All I have to say, guys, You Are World Class. I am so glad I was there. What a concert, bring on the next one...
The elders of jazz in South Africa, do not need to worry. The music are in good hands. These guys are really carrying the torch.
This is a comment from Carol Martin:
Rus Nerwich's "Mantras for Modern Man " concert at SABC Auditorium, Sea Point, on 18 June 2009 should have been a 'two-evening' showcase of his rich, moving, and applaudable compilations of Jewish concentration camp songs. This evening featured another dynamic of instruments - namely the electric guitar and tabla to give that Middle Eastern improvised sound - which were not heard on his equally moving studio-produced 'Beyond the Walls'. Rus has an uncanny method of mixing the sad, shocking, and cynical moods of such songs to reflect a hardship and a joy of surviving that the displaced Jews experienced. As a result, the evening was indeed 'heavy', and I could have split the sound experience into two (eves)..... Bravo for wonderful performances from the Tones-of-Note Man !!
Well done to The Collective...
