Ultimate

The ultimate in jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday and more come under the musical spotlight, as Amanda Tiffin pays tribute to the great divas of jazz.

More than merely paying tribute, the mood is set in refreshingly original arrangements of time-honoured gems.  This show features Amanda in haute couture splendour backed by a tuxedo-clad band which performs a repertoire of stylish standards, all setting the tone for an evening of sophisticated languor. The show was produced and directed by Fred Abrahamse and Charl-Johan Lingenfelder, with all musical direction and arrangements by Amanda Tiffin.

What the critics said:

"Let's hear it for standards - jazz standards that it - when they're performed, re-interpreted, with the consummate skill and nuanced innovation of Amanda Tiffin."
Wilhelm Snyman, Cape Times, Monday 29 June 1998

"Go see this show and see what jazz is all about." Eric Alan, Cape Argus Tonight, June 30 1998
