20 January 2009

After a successful stint of six exciting Puisano Live Music Performances during November and December 2008, the programme kicks off 2009 with an open air performance at the Boksburg Lake Amphitheatre on the 25 January 2009. Communities are encouraged to bring along their camp chairs, umbrellas and picnic basket and enjoy free quality of jazz music. The two overall Puisano winners, Solace and Mabhovu will play alongside Radiostation and J4DOT. J4 Dot is short for "Just for the Love of Music" and the four-piece jazz band has been together since 2006. Radiostation plays a form of jazz influenced by modern jazz and that of the 1920s.

To round off February on the 28 th the Springs Theatre which has developed a successful monthly live jazz series will be the place to be.
