hey everyone, welcome to our channel, and the first episode in the House on the Hill South African Jazz Community Showcase series ! pls feel free to leave comments and let us know what you think !

[@mthokozisimagagula]

Shane Cooper is actually my favorite bass player in South Africa hands down....from Bra Zim days, Kyle's work, Ndabo's record and the Mabuta stuff...

[@houseonthehill3880]

a bold statement made in a country with some seriously killing bass players Mthokozisi ! but yeh, Shane is one of the greats (we think it's because he's from PE/eBhayi/Gqeberha !)

[@mthokozisimagagula]

@@houseonthehill3880 I acknowledge all awesome bass players as a bass player myself. I just personally hold Shane in high esteem...Cool fact there...I always thought he is a Western Cape dude..nice one

[@peterfisher8152]

There's no part of being that isn't moved by this performance. They take you with them and when they explain how the experience of giving that performance was it's just an amazing and well executed idea. Truly genius

Lovely, where were you guys during the real lockdown.. anyway, do you allow an audience to attend?

[@MarcusWyatt]

hey Nosipho, thanks for watching - during the first lockdown no one was allowed to do this kind of thing in such close quarters ! we started when we could. no audiences as yet no, but that may change in the future ...

[@sHeof7pts]
