Nduduzo Makhathini

Spiritual jazz pianist, improviser and musicologist Nduduzo Makhathini channels African spiritual traditions into a deeply immersive sonic ritual. Drawing on his Blue Note recordings and collaborations with figures such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, his repertoire — including the album uNomkhubulwane — weaves improvisation, ancestral cosmologies and the ritual power of sound into expansive, trance-like passages. The performance privileges intuition and communal resonance, inviting listeners into a liberating, meditative listening experience.

Pick teases singularity through vibrant movement, Leriche propels the dancers into precise, breathless lyricism, and Eyal/Behar impose a hypnotic, technically demanding finale.
