After the Joy of Jazz fest, Kevin Naidoo, the owner of The Orbit jazz club, a major Johannesburg jazz venue, had a “post jam session” for the remaining musicians in the city, as well as festival participants and local jazzheads. “This is our first time playing in such a large festival and now Orbit,” said MacKinlay Mutsembi, the trumpeter and co-founder. “This is fantastic!”“This festival is a major event on the jazz calendar in South Africa,” stated Naidoo. He plays with an exploratory edge, a distinct improvisational South African sound. One of South Africa’s most significant musicians is Pops Mohamed, who plays multiple native instruments of Africa with his contemporary band.
