The impact and influence South African Jazz had British Jazz in the late 60's and 70's was immense with the arrival of a group of brilliant musicians who fled the Apartheid regime and set up home in exile in London. Musicians like Dudu Pukwana, Chris McGregor, Mongezi Feza, Louis Moholo, Harry Miller, Brian Abrahams, Ernest Mothle and Johnny Dyani made a major contribution to the development of British Jazz and their influence can still be heard in today's music.
 
The multi-talented bassist, composer, arranger, educator and producer Riaan Vosloo has assembled a new Octet to pay tribute to these great South African musicians and their lasting legacy. Featuring some of the finest musicians on the UK Jazz scene, including brilliant trombone player Ralphael Clarkson (recently moved to Bristol), Jazz Defenders Nick Dover, sax and Nick Malcolm, trumpet, bandleader and composer Sam Crockatt on sax, the highly rated guitarist Martin Kolarides, pianist Dan Moore (Andy Sheppard's Pushy Doctors, Big Top, Pork Chop etc) and on drums we have the excellent Dave Smith (Robert Plant, Cloudmakers, Mark Lockheart's Dreamers).
