SA’s first all-female big band ready to wow at #CTIJF2019 | IOL Entertainment

Cape Town - South Africa’s first all-female big band are ready to wow the Cape Town International Jazz Festival audience.

The band consists of 21 professional female artists and incorporates contemporary styles with traditional big band sounds, featuring the powerful vocal styling of Crowster. Tiffin, who is no stranger to Cape Town audiences, takes up the baton as conductor for this project, enthuses: ”Watching these musicians come together in such a short space of time and really own the music and their space has been a truly powerful experience.”

Lady Day is of course a nod to Billie Holliday , the American jazz singer who had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style - strongly influenced by jazz instrumentalists - pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo.
