University of Cape Town

Our stay in Capetown coincided with the 10th Anniversary of the Cape Town Big Band Festival. Produced by the fabulous Anne Barr, the May 22 evening concert at the funky Baxter Theatre showcases student big bands.  Earlier that afternoon, NuGenerations gave a free public concert, and then we scattered: Saundra and I joined in the inaugural meeting of "Sisters in Sound" and talked/worked with young women music students/musicians, while Lonnie & Quincy conducted a bass & drum workshop.
