For the first time in its history the\u00a0Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Band (SBNYJB)<\/strong>\u00a0is under the tutelage of a female conductor,\u00a0Amanda Tiffin<\/strong>. This year has also seen the rise of 18-year-old saxophonist from TUT,\u00a0Moses Sebula<\/strong>, who has beaten the odds to secure a place in the annually-constituted youth jazz band.<\/p>\n

Sebula<\/strong>\u00a0first attended the\u00a0Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Festival (SBNYJF)<\/strong>in 2013 playing, says festival director,\u00a0Alan Webster<\/strong>: \u201cA tenor sax that was almost as big as he was… I was blown away by his sound and incredible ears, but he couldn\u2019t read a note and spoke little English, so had no chance of getting into a reading band.\u201d The next year\u00a0Sebula<\/strong>\u00a0was back in Grahamstown with slightly improved music reading skills. The following year he was selected for the \u201cNational Schools\u2019 Ensemble\u201d which is created specifically for students that are talented, but have limited formal music education. \u201cLast year (2017) I was gobsmacked to see him selected for the National Schools\u2019 Big Band (NSBB): a reading gig. On congratulating him, he beamed at me and said, \u2018I can read now!\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nMoses Sebula<\/div>\n
Word of Sebula\u2019s exceptional talent, a kid trained at the\u00a0Moses Molelekwa Arts Center<\/strong>\u00a0near his home in Tembisa, had come to the attention of music teacher\u00a0Ceri Moelwyn-Hughes<\/strong>\u00a0from St Mary\u2019s School in Waverley. She set about teaching him to read sheet music along with securing him his first tenor sax ahead of his return to SBNYJF in 2018.And it was a triumphant return as the shy 18-year-old let his sax do the talking, acing the auditions to secure his place in the 2018\u00a0\u00a0Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Band<\/strong>\u00a0in his first audition for the senior youth band.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The SBNYJB has over the years included stars like SAMA winning bassist\u00a0Benjamin Jephta<\/strong>, pianist\u00a0Thandi Ntuli<\/strong>, drummer\u00a0Ayanda Sikade<\/strong>\u00a0and trombonist and vocalist\u00a0Siya Makuzeni<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Amanda Tiffin<\/strong>, the band\u2019s conductor is a respected performer with three jazz records to her credit as band leader. She is also head of music at University of Cape Town where she has presided over the education of some of South Africa\u2019s most brilliant vocalists who took her reputably rigorous classes.<\/p>\n

Tiffin<\/strong>\u00a0will guide the\u00a0Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Band<\/strong>\u00a0as it takes to the big stage at the\u00a0Standard Bank Joy of Jazz<\/strong>\u00a0on the\u00a0Diphala Stage<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Friday 28 September 2018.<\/strong>\u00a0 They will also give a free performance at the\u00a0Night Market<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0Nelson Mandela Square<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Saturday<\/strong>\u00a029 September 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The band consists of UTC students\u00a0Brathew van Schalkwyk<\/strong>\u00a0on piano,\u00a0Sean Sanby<\/strong>\u00a0on bass,\u00a0Damian Kamineth<\/strong>\u00a0on drums,\u00a0Ryan Truter<\/strong>\u00a0on guitar,\u00a0Daniel van der Walt<\/strong>\u00a0on vocals,\u00a0Ofentse Moshwetsi<\/strong>\u00a0on alto sax;\u00a0Moses Sebula<\/strong>\u00a0on tenor sax and Siyakhula student\u00a0Thabo Sikhakhane<\/strong>\u00a0on trumpet\u00a0and will present a repertoire that includes their original compositions and takes of well-known standards.<\/p>\n
