Jazz goes old school with acclaimed trombonist Fred Wesley and His quartet - One night ONLY SA concert

So, what do Usher, Van Morrison and James Brown all share in common? The fact that each of these renowned artists have worked with Uber-trombonist Fred Wesley. The distinguished jazz, blues and R&B musician who began his career playing for the legendary duo Ike and Tina Turner, is now poised to bring the Fred Wesley Quartet to the Wits Theatre on the 29th November, for a one-night only musical extravaganza.  

The limited ticket holders who are lucky enough to secure tickets in time will be treated to the musical styling’s of the man who spent 11 years as James Brown’s primary composer, and music director. The Fred Wesley Quartet includes Fred himself on trombone, Dwayne Dolphin on Bass, Brian Cox on Drums, and Joel Johnson on guitar.    

The Cape Town Jazz Orchestra supported by The National Arts Council and Department of Arts and Culture is pleased to be bringing over this veteran of the Count Basie Orchestra, whose star-studded list of collaborators includes Ray Charles, Pancho Sanchez, the SOS Band and Cameo. His work is so timeless that he has been sampled by such contemporary artists as Nas and Janet Jackson.  

With a career that spans more than four decades of working at the highest levels of the music scene, Johannesburg, prepare yourself for the South African debut of a musical icon and see for yourself what makes him one of the premier jazz aficionados in the world today.
