On selected Wednesdays, head over to the sexy Mix Cocktail Bar located on the second floor of the Trumpet building at Keyes Art Mile in Rosebank from 19:00 for Casual Sax,an evening of nothing but smooth jazzy jazz by Kopano Jazz Collective. It's a relaxing way to ease into the weekend, which in Joburg always starts early. 

Kopano means "coming together". In an interview with Bubblegum Club, musician Angus Hardcastle defined their music in this way: "So, when we all play together, we draw on how we have been informed by the base repertoire — and then of course, we have pop songs, rock music that we can incorporate into it. The American Jazz Standard informs some of the South African Standard, but truly we have a lot of our own originality and an incredibly rich tapestry of historical jazz musicians dating back to the 1920s. I think our concern as musicians is to honour this, in a way, while playing for the pure joy of it."

Bring along friends, or a date, and enjoy fresh cocktails, delicious food, and a soulful music connection in this art-filled space, especially beautiful for sundowners.  

Entrance is free although booking is essential at concierge@meshclub.co.za.
