Morton who is also a singer and songwriter believes there is a connection between South African and American music. He also added that the band has been getting ready for their show.
"No matter where we are we try to make sure that we are tight and on top of it and we always like to bring a lot of energy so we have been playing throughout the year and we have been getting in shape already and getting ready for South Africa.
"There is a connection between the US and Africa in general. I’m from New Orleans and I think there’s even more of a connection with the music. A lot of the reason we started Jazz was because of the African influence.
"I haven’t been to SA before but I just feel like there is a part of me there that I haven’t experienced. I love the music and it has inspired me a lot. I am just hoping to make the connection and learn more about myself."
