If you are looking for a group to perform good sounding jazz but with an African slant check out Muningu.  They  hail from the Congo and have a full rich sound - piano, guitar, electric bass, drums.  I believe they are available - contact  Nelson Smith,  Sugar Creek Entertainment, 154 Mciver Street, Sanford,, NC 27330,  919-542-7712, sugarcreek1953@gmail.com.  I've heard them three or four times at the Wednesday night jam session at BEYU Caffe in Durham.  They somewhat reminded me of Hugh Masekela.  Enjoyable. You will find them if you do a google search.  They did not have the American singer with them on the nights I saw them.
