KAREN Devroop is a South African saxophonist whose journey in music began from a young age watching his father perform in the Rajendra Orchestra.
By 12, he had joined the band. But it was only during a concert in 1978, while listening to musician Melvin Peters perform, that he realised jazz was in fact his future.
Devroop has released his latest album, Dance of the Indentured, and will perform at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at the University
