Acclaimed Parisian pianist Carine Bonnefoy makes her first South African appearance with a stellar collection of musicians. While Bonnefoy's ancestry lies in Tahiti, she embraces a range of musical trends and has worked with African, European and Caribbean musicians. It is for her composition and arrangement that she is best known and her stunning recordings with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra under Vince Mendoza and the German WDR Big Band have received significant critical attention. Norwegian trombonist Tarjei Grimsby is an equally successful composer who has composed predominantly with Scandinavian Big Bands and worked eclectically as a professional trombonist, and their first opportunity to work together should produce an evening of beauty. Joining them are Marcus Wyatt (trumpet), Norwegian Steinar Nickelsen (Hammond B3 organ) and young Slovenian drummer Kristijan Krajncan, who is making a big impact on the Dutch jazz scene.
