Among others you will hear a new composition by Douglas Armstrong, an modern African groove piece called The Man with the Hat, as well as some of Hanepoot's arrangements of SA jazz classics by the likes of Errol Dyers, Zakes Nkosi, Dollar Brand, Chris McGregor, Hugh Masekela and originals composed for the Biggish Band by Merton Barrow, David Ledbetter, Douglas Armstrong, 'Hanepoot' and others. 

The music includes Cape Town goema, Jo'burg marabi, trad big band swing ... and even a tango!

The Silvertree Restaurant is a great venue with naturally good sound, and the restaurant has an excellent menu. The Biggish Band performed here 2 years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed the evening -- this early evening Sunday dinner slot is extremely "gesellig" and is just the way to finish off the weekend in a groovily relaxed way, listening to purely South African Big Band Jazz, featuring solists such as Jannie "Hanepoot van Tonder" on the trombone, Chris Tokalon on tenor sax, George Werner on piano and Jasper "Dzespa" Cook also on trombone.

Tickets for Sunday's gig are R90, which includes a glass of wine, soup & bread!

Booking is essential on 021-762-9585.

The restaurant is open from 18h00 and the show starts at 18h45.
