The Joy of Jazz is weeks away and The K Jazz Show has been mapping the road to Johannesburg’s favourite festival and for the past few months you and I have been chatting to some of the festival’s headliners.

These names have included international stars and our very own homegrown contemporaries , getting us excited and ready to witness the 25th edition of the festival in motion.

This week on the show we are joined by trumpeter and composer Christopher Stephen Botti who established a reputation as a versatile musician in both jazz and pop music for his ability to fuse both styles together.

For Page Three this Sunday, Chris Botti.
