Thandi Ntuli on The Jazz Standard with Brenda Sisane

Loading player...
When we speak about the defining voices of South African jazz today, the name Thandi Ntuli is central to the conversation. She is an artist who approaches the piano, and her own voice, with a rare combination of fearlessness and generosity. Her work is a bridge where African musical heritage meets contemporary improvisation, creating a sound that feels both ancient and entirely new.

This week, Thandi will be taking the stage at the Absa Jazz Sessions at Marble in Rosebank. It’s a venue that has become a sanctuary for excellence, set against the Johannesburg skyline. Ahead of what promises to be an unforgettable evening of collaboration, we spent some time with both her and her music right here on The Jazz Standard.
