SEA JOURNEY – Saturday 20/06 at 7pm

Sea Journey Comprises three truly besotted jazz lovers.  Vocalist Marlene Boyce joins bassist Waldemar van Wyk and pianist Martin Wolfaardt for a tasteful, vibrant and playful conversation with the elusive character of jazz.  In a cosy intimate setting they will touch on elements of the great American songbook, evoke the fire of Bossa Nova, give some unusual perspectives on modern hits and premier two original compositions born out of the interesting times we are living through.
