Synopsis

Hosted by broadcaster and radio and TV personality Bob Mabena, the 10-episode series puts the spotlight on South African and international jazz musos.

Filmed on a roof-top in downtown Jozi and produced by Rapid Blue (Strictly Come Dancing, The Weakest Link), the series focuses on bringing jazz artists closer to audiences by celebrating the lives of the musos.
