"Africa's Grandest Gathering"



The North Sea Jazz Festival - Cape Town.

The North Sea Jazz Festival Cape Town is set to grace the Mother City once again on 10 & 11 April 2004.
Over the past four years the festival has grown from strength to strength offering performances from the world's best in jazz.
The festival has become one of the Cape Town's annual premier events during which the city comes alive!

Unlike the Dutch North Sea version, the South African Festival will have a unique programme. With the acts distributed equally between African and international performers, the South African Festival will give local musicians the chance to perform amid an international entourage.
A sure recipe for a unique and highly dynamic art form.

ESP-Africa and MOJO Concerts BV(Netherlands) are again planning on presenting over 30 acts spread across four stages with the usual democratic balance between the (South) Afican and international perfomers.

Line-up North Sea Jazz Capetown 2004

Miriam Makeba who will be performing with TRIO (Severieno Diaz de Oliveira, Leopoldo Fleming and William Salter),
Grammy Award-winning jazz singer Cassandra Wilson,
Cape Town's renowned jazz vocalist and guitarist Jonathan Butler,
SA jazz singer Gloria Bosman,
saxophonixt Toon Roos and the Toon Roos Group,
trumpeter Basilio Márquez with his own septet, Eclipse,
The Lou Donaldson Group featuring the legendary jazz keyboardist Dr. Lonnie Smith,
Femi Kuti, the eldest son of Fela Anikulapo Kuti and an international star in his own right,
Other big names on the festival bill are SA saxophonist McCoy Mrubata; the Joe Lovano Trio; Feya Faku (on trumpet and flugelhorn) in collaboration with Dutch musicians Gully Gudmunsson and Mete Erker; the Ngcukana Brothers (Ezra Ngcukana, Cyril Ngcukana, Fitzroy Ngcukana, Claude Ngcukana, and Duke Ngcukana); the Jonny Cooper Big Band with vocalist Donald Tshomela; saxophonist Sadao Watanabe; Sakhile with Sipho Gumede, Mabi Thabejane, and Khaya Mahlangu; and the 'Sax African Summit - Let Freedom Ring', which features the talents of saxophonist Jackie McLean and altoist Rene McLean with special guest saxophonists James Moody and Gary Bartz, and also featuring Hotep Idris Galeta, Nat Reeves, Ronnie Burrage, and Okeyrema Asnate.

The North Sea Jazz Festival is held every summer (July) in the Netherlands. It's been going on for a very long time. Your name for your festival is quite confusing.. and I can't see how it can help your cause.

Jazz fans all over the world look forward to THE North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands...

while the poster could have made it a bit more obvious (obviouser? :D ), a quick scan through the post turns up the names of two promoters (ESP-Africa and MOJO Concerts BV(Netherlands) ) and an even quicker scan of the festival's website turns up almost identical logos for Northsea and Northsea - Cape Town, NOT TO MENTION a link to the Northsea (Den Haag - is that spelled right?) festival. all of which leads me to believe the two are connected in some way (can you say brand recognition?) which is what i thought i remembered reading a few years ago when they started the second festival.

Yes, the Cape Town festival is connected to the one in Den Haag, though the thread title should have added Cape Town to prevent confusion.

It's a pretty good deal, considering the cost of airfares to South Africa.
