Saxes, trumpets, all that jazz and more in entertaining evening with Cape Horns
Hosted by respected saxophonist Don Vino, Cape Horns promises a relaxed and entertaining evening of music, offering something for everyone with an exciting array of sounds. The concert will take place for two nights only at the Baxter Theatre on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 May at 8pm.
From Gospel to Jazz, Big Band to Pop, and celebrating the much-loved but often forgotten Lang-arm, it’s guaranteed to get the audience dancing. Cape Horns presents some of Cape Town’s most notable brass music stars, while providing a platform for the next generation of talent.
Trumpeter Ian Smith of VJR fame and director of the acclaimed Delft Big Band joins the line up with saxophonist Heinrich Isaacs, who is known for his Gospel jazz expertise; and fellow saxophonist Didier Richards, a popular performer with the South African Navy Band and who has played with the likes of the legendary Pacific Express.

Among the rising young stars on the programme are the Elsies River High School Band who recently performed at the prestigious Cape Town International Jazz Festival, with the Cape Argus commenting about their ‘slick’ performance. The incomparable Cape Town icon Alistair Izobell directs this inspired show.
“The sounds of a saxophone or trumpet are about so much more than just great jazz,” says Don Vino. “We wanted to show off the sassy brassy sounds and are bringing audiences a great night out with music that will make you want to get up and dance. There’s pop, jazz, Gospel and more, and I am especially excited there will be a feature of lang-arm, which is a favourite that will take you down memory lane. There will also be a few surprise guests joining us.”
