Cape jazz (more often written Cape Jazz) is a genre of jazz that is performed in the very southern part of Africa, the name being a reference to Cape Town, South Africa. Some writers say that Cape Jazz began to emerge in 1959 with the formation of The Jazz Epistles, many of whom were from Cape Town, including Abdullah Ibrahim, then known as Dollar Brand. Cape Jazz is similar to the popular music style known as marabi, though more improvisational in character. Where marabi is a piano jazz style, Cape Jazz in the beginning featured (though not exclusively) instruments that can be carried in a street parade, such as brass instruments, banjos, guitars and percussion instruments.

  • Cape jazz är en genre som framförs i södra Afrika, främst i Sydafrika. Namnet är en referens till Kapstaden. Enligt några uppfattningar var gruppen som bildades 1959 pionjärerna inom cape jazz, med frontmannen Abdullah Ibrahim, då känd som Dollar Brand. Cape jazz påminner på många sätt om , en annan sydafrikansk musikgenré, men är ofta mer innovativ. Medan marabi till stor del bara är pianojazz så drar cape-jazzen nytta av fler instrument, däribland gitarr, banjo, diverse blåsinstrument och trummor. (sv)
  • Cape-Jazz (in der einschlägigen Literatur fast immer als Cape Jazz) ist ein Genre des Jazz, der dem südafrikanischen Marabi ähnelt, jedoch einen größeren Anteil an freier Improvisation aufweist. Im Gegensatz zum Marabi, wo das Klavier das dominierende Instrument ist, werden beim Cape-Jazz häufig Instrumente verwendet, die auch in Straßenparaden und vor allem in der Kwelamusik zum Einsatz kommen können, wie Blechblasinstrumente, Banjos, Gitarren und Perkussionsinstrumente.
