Wow! What a night of unforgettable live music.

@ajamonet left the packed audience at @maxwattsvenue speechless; @tenors_in_chaos, Stereo Champ and @misakiumei took a sold-out crowd on a journey through the vibrant world of Japanese jazz, and @bokanidyer Trio lit up the JazzLab with their high-voltage Afro-jazz.

It’s another hot-ticket night tonight, and Melbourne, you’re in for a treat! @tigranhamasyan performs to a sold-out @melbrecital crowd, while @oliviathevocalist and @matthewsheens launch their new album Putting It Together at @chapeloffchapel. Over at The JazzLab, @soodrums Trio brings its distinctive take on contemporary Korean jazz before @the_rookies_play_jazz finish the night off with our Late Night jams. After a change of scenery? Head to @albathermalsprings for an immersive jazz experience with the extraordinary @deankalait Trio.

Check out the daily schedule in our bio.

Born in Gaborone, Botswana, in 1986, he grew up in Johannesburg in a musical family, with his father, renowned saxophonist and composer Steve Dyer, playing a significant role in his musical upbringing. He later studied jazz performance and composition at the University of Cape Town, graduating with distinction.

Over the years, Dyer has developed a distinctive sound that brings together South African jazz traditions, soul, electronic music and African rhythms. His acclaimed discography includes Mirrors (2010), Emancipate the Story (2011), World Music (2015), Neo Native (2019) and Radio Sechaba (2023). His album Neo Native won the South African Music Award for Best Jazz Album, further cementing his position as one of the leading voices in contemporary African jazz.

Having performed internationally and collaborated with acclaimed musicians across genres, Dyer continues to explore the relationship between jazz, heritage and modern musical expression. Through his compositions and performances, he pushes the boundaries of the genre while remaining deeply connected to the cultural histories and evolving sounds of Southern Africa.

Bokani Dyer Trio – Traditions Tour

The Chairman | 07 November

Raised in the lineage of his father, jazz musician Steve Dyer, Bokani carries the ideals of Ubuntu into his music. On Traditions, he turns inward to the sounds that shaped him — reimagining inherited material through the intimate language of the piano trio. For the first time, most of the repertoire are covers.

“I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. I’m interested in new, novel ways of approaching the songs, leaning on the established traditions that have come before.”
The focus track, “African Piano: Inxembula,” is a traditional Xhosa folk song famously recorded by uhadi player Nofinishi Dywili and The Ngqoko Women’s Ensemble. Meaning “the ugly one,” it was also repurposed as a struggle song during apartheid. Bokani’s version moves it into a new setting of piano, bass, flute and drums — connecting generations while letting the tradition keep evolving.

Traditions is both a look into the past and a way forward.

Doors open 6:00 PM | Show starts 8:00 PM
Tickets available on Quicket.
