The Fischermanns Orchestra’s tour kicks off with two appearances at the Joy of Jazz festival. Fischermanns Orchestra is not your average big band jazz outfit. This nine-piece ensemble from Switzerland will be bringing their Space Revolution tour to South Africa this month and in October, with dates in Johannesburg and other major cities. Band leader and bass player Thomas Reist said the group is heading south with a fresh lineup, too. “We are lucky to have a number of composers in the band,” Reist shared.
