Following a wine tour of the Stellenbosch region just outside Cape Town, a fellow tourist on the trip, a young woman from Singapore, mentioned that she was planning to visit a jazz club on her return to the city. After travelling by herself along the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, she was happy to have company, and I was happy to see live music of any type. She led us to The Crypt, a jazz club and wine bar in the basement of an active church. The three of us settled into a dimly lit table and shared a couple bottles of local wine, as much of a draw as the jazz. The performance for the evening was Hassan’Adas, a talented multiracial, multi-genre local band. I couldn’t tell if they were professional musicians or just friend who shared a passion. Interestingly, their first set was firmly jazz but their second was closer to Brazilian samba. Fun show and a cool atmosphere.
