Guest: Prof. Miriam Altman - one of SA’s most highly respected economists. She’s a Ted-Talk speaker, a change-maker… now a jazz artist

Miriam Altman, a captivating South African jazz vocalist, is set to release her highly anticipated debut single, The Train, marking a bold new chapter in her evolving musical journey. As a musical storyteller, Miriam Altman draws her listeners into a personal and profoundly felt world, expressing a lifetime of rich experiences, cultural influences, and musical inspirations.

Originally trained as a classical soprano in her youth, Miriam has now evolved into the world of jazz. With some decades between her classical training and her recent shift into jazz, her voice has matured into a lower and deeper register, which she is now exploring. She has launched onto the music scene with a unique sound, bringing together carefully crafted music with playful improvisation, and the power of her richly emotive three octave range.
