BACKGROUND TO THE UBUNTU FESTIVAL
"The aim of the inaugural Ubuntu Festival to be held in Cape Town during July 2009 is to create massive awareness around the adoption of an ‘ubuntu' code of conduct as a solution to the intolerance and ignorance which exists amongst many people. The net result of people not embracing transformation and resisting change is leading to aggression, the moral degeneration of society, a non sustainable economy and having a disastrous impact on the environment."

Note that besides the Jazz Sessions there are plenty of other activities happening, which are part of the festival.

"Jazz and freedom go hand in hand. That explains it. There isn't any more to add to it. If I do add to it, it gets complicated. That's something for you to think about. You think about it and dig it. You dig it..." Thelonious Monk
