New York Round Midnight features a 9-piece band and includes a set and narration telling the story of jazz in New York City.
New York Round Midnight is currently one of the greatest international jazz theatre productions.
It features a 9-piece band and includes a set and narration telling the story of jazz in New York City, while performing some of the most recognised jazz compositions ever written. The entire production, which is performed over 90 minutes, takes the audience on a journey of jazz, starting with the A Train and getting off on 42nd street. While visiting the various jazz clubs, artists are introduced to the legendary jazz musicians of the time such as Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.
The production has been performed extensively abroad and for the first time in South Africa, it will be performed with an all-South African cast led by internationally recognised South African jazz saxophonist, Karendra Devroop.
