South African jazz is The Shit, in case you don't know.  It has a lilt and ebullience that are unique.  Bandleader Michael Mwenso and singer Vuyo Sotashe are two of NYC's foremost exponents of the style.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  One of the most popular cocktails in South Africa (where they LOVE their Brandy) is an Ama-lekkerlicious:  first, if you're really ambitious, dip a rocks glass in orange sherbert to rim it.  Then, pour 1 oz. Brandy, 2 oz. cranberry juice, 1/2 oz. Peach Syrup, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, with 3 dashes of orange bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into the (rimmed, if you're being ambitious) glass.  Garnish with an orange twist.
