thanks for stepping by! have fun browsing and don't forget to tell your friends about this website :-) peace, -- ewout tutu puoane receives the 2010 South African Music Award for Best Jazz Album i was already proud to tell y'all about tutu's nomination for the south african music awards... now i'm so so happy to announce that last night she received the actual award. 'quiet now' was chosen Best Traditional Jazz Album of the year (Traditional standing for actual jazz, while Contemporary basically stands for smooth jazz...). the SAMA event is a huge media circus in south africa, which means an invaluable amount of extra promotion... i'm very much looking forward for the new possibilities this award will bring for her and her band in her country of birth. www.samusicawards.co.za mama africa! the new brussels jazz orchestra album featuring tutu puoane is out now. there's an arrangement of mine included, called 'west wind', based on a south african original. the album will be presented this upcoming friday february 26th @ roma, borgerhout. the project will tour extensively in the near future, for dates please visit www.brusselsjazzorchestra.com.
