Jimmy and his Sax on the track penned by the late great, Al Etto! Jimmy’s Grand Six formed in the late 1960s/early 1970s under the leadership of Jimmy Newman, a saxophonist born in 1941 in the mining town of Nababeep in Namaqualand (Northern Cape). Newman began performing at age 17, touring South Africa with dance bands and honing his craft on the saxophone. By the early 1970s he assembled his own six-piece langarm dance band – an ensemble eventually dubbed “Jimmy’’s Grand Six.” Their break in recording came via a deal with CBS Records leading to the release of the debut album “The Dancing Sound Of” in 1972. Through the 1970s and 1980s, the band went through several phases of evolution in both lineup and musical style. In the early 1970s, the band’s style on record - a catchy blend of jazz, R&B and Cape folk influences arranged into ballroom dance formats - straddling “Jazz, Latin, Folk, World & Country,” with specific styles ranging from polkas and waltzes to jazz-funk jams. During this period, Grand Six established itself as one of the most popular langarm groups in the Cape dance circuit. By the mid-1970s, the band’s success prompted some lineup changes and expansions in repertoire. As they gained popularity, younger musicians were eager to join or collaborate. Newman often mentored up-and-coming players, and several would pass through the band’s ranks, e.g., drummer Bruce Newman (a relative of Jimmy) played in Grand Six before leaving to join Weekend Band, Bad Between Color before he joined The Rockets, and others like Abey Koopman (later of band Freedom) and Sylvester “Dollie” Fortuin (Sugar Daddy) also performed with the band in their early careers. In the late ’70s, as disco and soul influenced the broader music scene, Grand Six adapted by giving those hits a ballroom twist (often labelled “bump jive” or “vastrap” versions). In the 1980s, the band both modernised its sound using more contemporary production (such as electric organ, and later synthesizer textures) in their recordings. By this time, some original members had retired from performing, and Jimmy often assembled younger backup players for tours (including musicians from both South Africa and Namibia). The band’s live performances remained extremely popular in community halls, charity balls, and church “opskop” dances. The band toured across the country and Namibia, where they had a devoted following. In later years, Jimmy occasionally added vocals to a few numbers or brought guest singers for variety, but predominantly the music stayed instrumental. By the late 1980s, the band had effectively become a household name in langarm circles, and Jimmy Newman himself was a celebrated elder statesman of Cape dance music, even as he slowed down, focussing more on special appearances only.
