The Afro Jazz Ensemble

The Afro Jazz Ensemble celebrates the meeting place between diverse African musics and their close relatives in the Americas—jazz, blues and gospel.
Led by master musician Yaw Asumadu, a former key member of the Pan African Orchestra (Real World Records), the group draws on the unique melodies, rhythms and harmonies of his home country Ghana and beyond. A multi-instrumentalist on traditional instruments, Asumadu brings deep authenticity and vibrant energy to the ensemble’s sound.
Joining him is a dynamic quartet drawn from his other projects, AfroFunk and the Highlife 10-piece Ozi Ozaa: Paul Hoskin on drums, Ben McNicoll on saxophone, Tristan Hancock on guitar and Carlos Pla on bass.
The Afro Jazz Ensemble will have you out of your seat with irresistibly danceable grooves, while their interplay and improvisations will have you mesmerized and uplifted.
5pm to 8pm. Doors open 4.30pm
Restaurant and Bar available
Jazz Club Members $20
Public $30
