The concert will feature an entire evening of solo piano improvisations over variations of Shepherd's own compositional works which respected arts journalist Miles Keylock (Mail & Guardian), describes as "an impressionistic collage of South African jazz sounds, from slam poetic minimalist re-imaginings of Afrikaans volksliedjies and Muslim calls to prayer, to goema groove deconstructions … and more that, as the doyen of South African jazz scribes Gwen Ansell pointed out in Business Day recently: 'live in the jazz world but are never imprisoned by it'. "

"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
