Tietie’s Bay, celebrates its 6th anniversary in 2016 and the line-up is fantastic boasting 3 international artists.
Saxophonist Jay Beckenstein of Spyro Gyra (USA) , alto sax wizard Marion Meadows (USA) and British saxophonist Andrew Young who performs every year due to public demand. But Jazz on the Rocks is a celebration of ‘local’ – be it the musicians, the people who provide the food, the audience and, more importantly the beauty of this West Coast venue…Tietiesbaai in the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve, just outside of the charming fishing village of Paternoster.
For 4 days, from Thursday February 24 to Sunday February 29 2016, Tietiesbaai is where it is all happening. And there are few places in the world where you can you swim, sunbathe or fish while watching and listening to some of the coolest jazz and music in the world.

A special treat for young and old is a nature trail conducted by the Government of the Western Cape. Kids are the VIP’s and there is a dedicated pay and play area that is manned by professional child minders where parents can ‘drop’ their children for a few hours. The local community will provide delectable West Coast food, specializing in sea food like fresh fish and rock lobster which are caught in the area and visitors are encouraged to buy food from these vendors for a holistic West Coast experience, and to help the local economy.
