International Jazz Extravaganza – a Africa interest event taking place on 2017-06-17 18:00:00 in South Africa
One-night-only International Jazz Extravaganza returns to serenade Durban
The second International Jazz Extravaganza (IJE) will once again be wowing Durban jazz fans with inspiring star performances and unmatched hospitality when it returns to the Durban International Convention Centre-Arena (Durban ICC-Arena) on 17 June 2017. So far three acts for the night have been announced – edgy US jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, local artists Nduduzo Makhatini and pianist Thandi Ntuli.
“The first IJE, held in March last year, offered something that no other jazz event in South Africa caters for – entertainment for the pure jazz lover. This, along with a luxurious hospitality experience that combines music, food, and travel, is what makes IJE so unique, and sets us apart. Our second extravaganza will be even more memorable than the first, and as a result, seats are already selling out fast” notes Sindile Xulu, President and CEO of the IJE.
Real treat in store for jazz lovers
Music icon Kurt Elling will no doubt be a huge drawcard for jazz aficionados to the IJE. With every one of his ten albums being nominated for a Grammy, Elling is well known for the impressive technical mastery and emotional depth of his rich baritone voice.
Another artist who will be performing at this year’s IJE, and has won the heart of many jazz lovers globally, is local muso Nduduzo Makhathini. His chosen instrument is the piano, which he feels allows him to express himself best through his music. He has been nominated for numerous SAMAs.
