In the unique celebration of National day and year of tolerance, this festival is a celebration of music, art, dance, food & cultural from all parts of the world.

We are looking for cultural stage performers who can bring a piece of home with them from wherever they are from and perform at the festival." Based in Randburg, Gauteng (27 miles from Pretoria) Assele Kahwaji - Global Festival 2019 Photo of Nyasha Nyasha "When we enter the mall, we follow the voice of Nyasha, a heaven sent voice...it's where we first met and I challenged Nyasha to do upmarket events for me.. What a voice and talented soul" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng (33 miles from Pretoria) Andre Butler and Louise Butler - Cradlestone Mall Photo of Artist Artist "Nathaniel’s performance was a masterclass in musical storytelling. His emotive phrasing and improvisational depth on both guitar and keyboard captivated the audience from the first note. Blending Afro-jazz with traditional and contemporary influences, he created a sonic journey that was both rooted and exploratory. His leadership of the ensemble was seamless—each musician was given space to shine, yet the collective sound remained cohesive and intentional. Beyond the music, Nathaniel’s presence radiated humility and warmth. His ability to connect with the audience, uplift fellow artists, and curate an immersive experience speaks to his rare combination of artistry and emotional intelligence. A true visionary, he continues to redefine what it means to be a jazz artist in South Africa and beyond."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for jazz guitarists ranges from R2,750 to R24,500+, with an average of R8,500. Rates depend on the guitarist's experience, performance duration and whether the booking is for a solo performance, a duo or a larger ensemble. Jazz guitarists are a popular choice for background music at receptions, dinners and cocktail events.

The jazz guitarists for hire perform a range of jazz styles including swing, bossa nova, gypsy jazz, smooth jazz, bebop and jazz-funk. Many also cover popular songs and standards in a jazz style. The jazz guitar has a warm, mellow tone that suits both background and featured performances.

Common events for jazz guitarists include cocktail receptions, corporate dinners, wedding ceremonies, restaurant entertainment and private parties. A solo jazz guitarist provides sophisticated, unobtrusive live music that enhances the atmosphere without overpowering conversation.

Many jazz guitarists offer flexible formats including solo performances, duo or trio settings (often with double bass and drums), and as part of larger jazz ensembles. It is advisable to discuss the best format for your event and venue.

For intimate settings, many jazz guitarists can perform without amplification. For larger venues or events with background noise, a small amplifier is typically used. Most jazz guitarists bring their own equipment. For the best experience, confirm the setup based on the venue.

Sitting in with an existing line-up is normal work for jazz players, who are used to reading charts and following a standard repertoire with little rehearsal. Agreeing a set list, or at least a shared songbook, is what makes it work. Where the other musicians are booked separately, say so at the enquiry stage, as it changes what the guitarist prepares.

A solo player normally works in sets of around 45 minutes with short breaks between them, and unbroken playing across a long dinner is quoted differently. Whether the music has to be continuous is worth deciding early, since it changes both the fee and whether a second player is worth adding. Most will say how long they can comfortably play in one stretch if asked.

A single guitar suits rooms of up to around a hundred guests once amplified, beyond which the sound thins against the noise of a crowd. For larger events players usually suggest adding a second instrument rather than turning the volume up. Guest numbers and room size are what decide this, not the style of music being played.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
