The Township Comets featuring Pinise Saul

Event information

The newly formed Township Comets play the searing, joyous music of
South African saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, a towering figure in township
jazz and the European free scene. Chris Batchelor and Adam Glasser
played with Pukwana in the ‘80’s, and the group features vocalist
Pinise Saul, star of classic Zila records ‘Life In Bracknell and
Willisau’ and ‘Zila 86’. Expect a rousing and spirited night in the
Zila tradition. Pinise Saul (vocals), Chris Batchelor (trumpet), Harry
Brown (trombone), Adam Glasser (piano), Jasper Hoiby (bass) and Gene
Calderazzo (drums).

Plus support from
Darius Brubeck
During the 70s pianist/composer Darius Brubeck led his own groups,
played with Don McLean, Larry Coryell and toured the world with ‘Two
Generations of Brubeck’ and ‘The New Brubeck Quartet’ (Dave, Darius,
Chris and Dan Brubeck).
