Famed South African Acoustic Guitarist
TONY
COX
‘Put a party together
and go have your mind blown to bits (and reconstructed) by a musician
who is well on his way to
becoming a living legend’
Daily News –
2007
Multiple
award-winning acoustic Guitarist TONY COX one of South Africa’s finest.
His music tumbles out,
hitting your tapping feet with its solid groove, transporting your
heart and mind with
harmonic unknown journeys. Warm and engaging on and off stage,
with stories and anecdotes,
that draw you in, forcing you to listen to un unheard tune that
catches you in the
solar-plexus with its power and delivery. His multiple finger-style
techniques
absorbed from such greats
as Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch, have fused into a style all of his own that
captures the rigorous
precision of classical technique juxtaposing the loose, laid-back delivery of a
master at work.
Compositions from
his youth are charged with African
imagery, integral to this unique guitar player’s world
perspective.

“Superior
Gypsy jazz from this London-based acoustic band. Each performer

Webster and the

beauty of This Mistake. Fresh and ameliorating, lovely from start to
finish.”

HOT AND SWINGING
THE TEDDY
SIMMONDS JAZZ BAND
“Django, Dorsey, Duke, and
more”
The Teddy Simmonds Jazz
Band (TSJB) is delighted to be making its debut performance
at Le QuecumBar home of
Gypsy Swing. Led by multi-instrumentalist Hugo ‘Teddy’ Simmonds on the
clarinet,
with Rohit Nijhawan and Ed
Shearer playing lead guitar, Marius McGinnis on rhythm and Kevin Carney on
double bass,
TSJB is a hard swinging
hot-club quintet that mixes American swing, Django classics and quirky
originals.
The five musicians that
comprise TSJB were all drawn to Django’s unique style of Gypsy jazz from a
variety of musical
backgrounds including
classical, modern jazz, blues,
– but as QuecumBar regulars
and Django aficionados will know, once you hear the opening strains of Minor
Swing, not much else matters!
