FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
South African Jazz Singer Sathima Bea Benjamin Performs at Sweet Rhythm Jazz Club Thursday, August 25th, 2005
Vocalist Joined by Pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs, Bassist Kenny Davis, and Drummer Victor Lewis
EKAPA RECORDS is proud to announce a performance by the legendary vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin on Thursday, August 25th, 2005 at New York's Sweet Rhythm Jazz Club. The sets begin at 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Born in Cape Town, Sathima Bea Benjamin is one of South Africa's great musical treasures, and has over the years established herself as one of the greatest living jazz singers in the world, having worked with such musical legends as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Abdullah Ibrahim. Throughout her career, Sathima has recorded 11 albums, earned a Grammy nomination, and received in 2004 the Order of Ikhamanga, South Africa's highest honor.
As a singer, Sathima's interpretations of standards have earned her a devoted audience and the highest praise of critics. Jules Epstein, writing for the Philadelphia Tribune, described Sathima as “an extraordinary singer," whose voice is “at the peak of jazz artistry," while New York Times critic Jon Pareles declared that “in song after song, Miss Benjamin could make a word cry out with just a flicker of vibrato."
Sathima is joined for this date by some of New York's finest jazz musicians: pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs, bassist Kenny Davis, and drummer Victor Lewis.
