Chris Engel is an exciting new member to the group. He began playing saxophone at the age of 10 and since then has performed at the Cape Town International Jazz festival with world renowned American jazz artists Joe McBride, Gerald Veasley and Kenny Blake. In 2006 Engel studied at Norway's prestigious institution, The Norwegian Academy of Music. While in education Engel was involved with a successful South African youth jazz development project called The Little Giants. During his time in the band he performed alongside great jazz artists such as Bheki Mseleku and Mervin Africa. The bands major achievement was performing for President Mbeki and Minister of Education Kader Asmal.

Other members of the NATIVES also have impressive feats within the jazz world.

Kesivan Naidoo needs little introduction to music lovers and is one of the most sought after drummers in anyone's books.

Jason Reolon on piano (Breakfast Included) was winner of the SAMRO National Overseas Scholarship for best Jazz Pianist in 2001, taking up his scholarship in New York in 2004

Shane Cooper on bass is a regular at Headset and also plays with great bands such as Babu and Closet Snare.

On Tuesdays they perform at Asoka in Kloof Street where their residencies pack out the venue each week.

As WhatsOnSa reported,

Combining these diverse and talented jazz musicians enables the Restless Natives to outshine wherever they perform.
