🎷WHAT A WAY TO CLOSE OUR FIRST SEASON OF CELLAR SESSIONS! ❤️

Our final Cellar Session at Nitida was something special.

The wonderful Melorie Jane, joined by the incredibly talented Tiana Amari on bass and Chanté Phillips on drums, gave us an afternoon filled with beautiful musicianship, energy, warmth and the kind of connection that can only happen with live jazz.

There was something particularly meaningful about seeing **three exceptional women musicians commanding the stage together** during Women's Month.

Women continue to make an extraordinary contribution to South African jazz — as performers, composers, bandleaders, educators and creators — and this performance was a beautiful reminder of the depth of talent we have right here at home.

To Melorie Jane, Tiana and Chante PhillipsChanté, thank you for sharing your artistry with us and for making our third edition such a memorable one.

And to everyone who joined us, bought a ticket, raised a glass, applauded, laughed and supported these musicians — thank you. You are helping us build a community around live South African jazz in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs.

These photographs capture just a little of what made the afternoon so special. ❤️🎶🍷

Our first season may have ended, but Northern Jazz Sessions is only getting started.

We'll see you again on the last Sunday of October.

New venue. New chapter. Same love for the music. 🎷

🎷 A NEW CHAPTER FOR NORTHERN JAZZ SESSIONS 🎷

And just like that, our first season of Northern Jazz Sessions has come to a close. ❤️

What started as a vision to create an intimate home for live jazz in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs became something truly special — afternoons filled with incredible musicians, warm audiences, great w**e, laughter and, most importantly, a growing community of people who love and support South African jazz.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Nitida W**e Estate for hosting our Cellar Sessions and for being part of the beginning of this journey. We leave with some wonderful memories of the music and moments created inside the cellar.

But this is certainly not goodbye to Northern Jazz Sessions.

We're taking a short seasonal break and will return on the last Sunday of October with the next chapter of our journey.

🍷 We are staying in the Durbanville W**e Valley and Northern Suburbs.
🎷 We will continue bringing you exceptional South African jazz.
🏡 And we have a new home to introduce to you very soon.

New venue. New experiences. Same love for the music.

To every musician who has stepped onto our stage, every person who bought a ticket, shared a post, brought a friend or simply sat back with a glass of w**e and allowed the music to take over — thank you.

You helped us prove that there is a home and an audience for beautiful live jazz in the Northern Suburbs.

Our next season begins Sunday, 25 October 2026.

And we can't wait to show you where we're going next. 🎶🍷

Watch this space. The next chapter of Northern Jazz Sessions is coming.

Celebrating the Women Who Give Music Its Heart

Behind every great performance is a story.

Many of the women who grace our stages are not only exceptional musicians—they are mothers, daughters, sisters, educators, composers, mentors, entrepreneurs and aspiring artists. They balance rehearsals with family life, late-night performances with early mornings, and continue to inspire audiences with their passion, resilience and extraordinary talent.

Their contribution to South African music goes far beyond the spotlight. They enrich our culture, preserve our musical heritage and inspire the next generation to dream a little bigger.

As we celebrate Women's Month, let's take a moment to recognise and honour these remarkable women who continue to shape the soundtrack of our lives.

It is therefore fitting that our 3rd edition of Northern Jazz Sessions – Cellar Sessions at Nitida features the award-winning Melorie Jane and her exceptional all-women ensemble.

Join us as we celebrate the artistry, creativity and brilliance of women in jazz with an unforgettable afternoon of live music, fine w**e and wonderful company.

Here's to the women who continue to inspire us—on stage, at home and in our communities. 💜

🌸🎷 This Women's Month, Northern Jazz Sessions proudly welcomes Melorie Jane & Her All-Women Ensemble 🎷🌸

There is something truly special about live jazz. It has the power to tell stories, stir emotions, and bring people together in a way that few art forms can.

This August, we're honoured to welcome the award-winning Melorie Jane to the Nitida Cellar, where she will lead an exceptional all-women ensemble in celebration of Women's Month.

Melorie Jane is one of South Africa's most accomplished contemporary jazz artists, celebrated for her soulful performances, original compositions, and award-winning musicianship. Joining her are a group of outstanding female musicians who continue to shape and inspire the South African jazz landscape.

Women have always been at the heart of jazz—not only as remarkable performers, but as composers, innovators, educators, and storytellers whose voices have enriched the genre for generations. This concert is a celebration of their talent, creativity, and lasting contribution to our musical heritage.

Join us for an unforgettable Sunday afternoon of exceptional live music, fine Nitida w**es, and the warm atmosphere that has become the hallmark of Northern Jazz Sessions.
