For Bookings & More Info: [email protected] / Tel: 041 366 12 11 / FB Inbox: The year is 1935, and the music is Jazz! Names such as Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Duke Ellington rule the music scene. These were strange times indeed: America was still very racially divided, but Jazz appealed to both black and white. The likes of Louis Armstrong even got to sit in white only restaurants as well as gain access to the upper echelons of American society because of his abundant talent and charm. Such was the power of this vibrant new style of music they called “Jazz”. This did not sit well with his fellow African Americans, however, who regarded him as an “Uncle Tom”, seemingly participating in the oppression of his own group. In her latest one woman show, the lively and vivacious Tonya Koenderman pays tribute to that exciting era when Jazz ruled supreme. She touches briefly on the history of jazz, tells interesting jazz related anecdotes, but most of all, she pays tribute to the great jazz classics. Tonya Gives her own touch of magic to songs such as In The Mood, Mack The Knife, Feeling Good, Summertime, The Blues In the Night, Somewhere over the Rainbow, Get Happy, My Baby Just Cares for me, At Last, New York New York and many more!!!!
