Play with me Bru
I went along on Friday night to listen to the Brubeck Brothers playing at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I had hoped to get a few good photographs but the place was packed, movement was restricted, and I was glued to a seat in a bad position. Hence no pics.
The music was great. Darius was sweet on piano, brother Chris a master on both bass and trombone and Dan masterful and sometimes even muscular on drums. An added dimension was provided by Barney Rachabane on sax and Burton Naidoo filling in on bass. Well he more than filled in - he was top rate in his own right.
A great opening concert. They will now tour South Africa ending at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. Catch them if you can.
Oh – and by the way – on the way out the Memorial Tower Building looked stunning against the black night sky; so I managed one photograph. A little camera shake but here it is below in all its late Art Deco, post WW2 heroic monumental glory.
