The world of jazz have produced some of the most influential and innovative guitarist of the 21st century. The greatness of a jazz guitarist lies hidden in the flamboyance of the stringing of the melody and chord progression, the individuals technique and the elusive magic that separates the boys from the men, Cameron Ward is seen as a jazz maestro.
His meteoric rise from the backstreets of the disadvantaged community of Lotus River on the Cape Flats to the world stages of the Lugano Festival (Switzerland), The North Sea Jazz Festival, The Cape Town Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival (Canada), Joy of Jazz (JHB) & the Back to Black Jazz Fest (London & Brazil) testifies to the musical prowess and genius. Four times SAMA award winning artist, Jimmy Dlu Dlu,must be credited as the progenitor of this great South African talent. He identified Cameron’s tremendous talent and bought him his first guitar.
Cameron is arguably one of the most versatile guitarist of his generation. He has a beautiful tone, great improvisational ideas, superb speed and knows how to make you dance to the African beat that’s equal to none.
