THE MARK GINSBURG BAND

THE MARK GINSBURG BAND

South African saxophonist Mark Ginsburg has just finished his thesis on the influence of Jewish prayer modes on jazz musicians. So not only does the man play the sax like a musical wizard, he’s done his research too. We like. “Growing up in Cape Town I had three primary musical influences – ethnic African music, my role as a chorister at the synagogue and my older brothers, who played jazz morning, noon and night,” says the multi-faceted musician. Join Mark and his bandmates Greg Coffin (piano), Karl Dunnicliff (bass) and Tim Firth (drums) as they jazz up venue 505. If you are a jazz afficionado, this is a must-see and if you are not, there’s no better time to get yourself acquainted with this passionate and sexy musical genre. (KS)
