Description
What would you hear if you were dropped anywhere in South Africa?
Voicenotes: Tales from the South African Jazz Alter-Ground goes inside the country's jazz scene as it is right now: in rehearsal rooms, on stage, in the studio and at late-night hangouts where the music gets worked out.
Along the way, the musicians answer three questions: What does freedom mean to you? What does it mean to be an artist? What role should music play in society?
Filmed across Johannesburg, Soweto, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, from Downtown Studios and The Bioscope to Untitled Basement, Vault on Bree, Dyertribe Studios and The Chairman.
