ABOUT
Reza Khota Quartet
With Buddy Wells (saxophone)
Jonno Sweetman (drums)
Nick Williams (bass)
Over the last twenty years, Khota has established himself as a guitarist with far reaching abilities. In this time, he has played regularly and recorded with the Shane Cooper Quintet and Kesivan and the Lights. The latter ensemble performed at Carnegie Hall, New York in 2014. Khota is part of the new wave of South African jazz that seeks to think anew, what is possible as a composer and improvisor in the post-apartheid. The Reza Khota Quartet released its second album - Liminal, in 2019. Reza was an artist in residence at the University of Western Cape’s Centre for Humanities Research from 2015-2018. Over the last three years he has collaborated with musicians from Toronto, India and Sweden.
