THE GLENN ROBERTSON JAZZ BAND

The band comprises of Tony Drake on piano, Andre Henry on Bass Guitar, Fabian Frantz on Drums, Manuel Jon Jardine on Saxophone, Jason Ward on Percussion and Michelle Robertson on Vocals. Glenn Robertson fronts the band vocally.

The musical style of the band is rooted in Jazz, but covers various genres of music styles. The band is flexible in that it moves from the blues to swing and from bebop to modern jazz and is spiced with a Latin flavour. A unique formula, which this band has encompassed, is the introduction of Gospel Jazz as a part of their repertoire.

The Glenn Robertson Jazz Band released their latest album “On your Feet” in March 2009.

Michelle Robertson released her debut album “A Love That Will Last” in December 2010.

The band has been a part of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in 2010 and did 2 concerts in Sydney and Melbourne Australia in 2011 besides local events.

The concerts are being held on Sunday afternoons in order to be as accessible as possible for the local community, and ensuring that parents with younger children have the opportunity to attend too. Dog are always welcome.

The Summer Concerts will be staged in the original Edwardian bandstand which was manufactured by Messrs Walter McFarlane & Co of Glasgow and presented to ‘the corporation’ in Cape Town by the Traders-Market & Exhibition Ltd. London in 1904. It was moved from the original exhibition space in Green Point to De Waal Park some years later.
