About Jazz Catz:

Boris Guderjahn on Tenor Saxophone, born in Germany. Played with Frederic Rabold, Herbert Joos, Studiobigband Karlsruhe, “The Moonlights”, blues legend Glenn Schwartz and later toured with German RockJazz group “November”, moved to SA and founded the Jazz Catz. Ryan Sackanary on Keyboard, raised in a Cape Town musical family, played with Emo Adams, Tracey Carter, Keanu Harker, Nhoza and many more SA artists. Our musical concept is at ones to cover a wider spectrum of different genres of jazz with the love for Latin/groovy rhythms, to blend Latin rhythms with funk and combine it with a more contemporary sound like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and a sound signature a la Weather Report. With our new album “Timeless” we crossed bridges from contemporary to classical elements.

One of our highlights was to be part of the Oude Molen Jazz Festival with Ian Smith, Allou April, Sammy Webber, Auriol Hays.
