Sons of Table Mountain was a South African jazz band formed by Robbie Jansen.[1] In addition to Jansen, the band included pianist Hilton Schilder, Steven Erasmus, Jack Momplé and Alex van Heerden.[citation needed] In the 1990s, the band regularly performed for audiences from all socioeconomic backgrounds – from impoverished communities in Cape Flats to political dignitaries in post-apartheid South Africa.[2]
Jansen released his second album in 2000, Cape Doctor, having used the group to record with him. They were one of the pioneers of the new Cape Jazz.
