Various - Jazz In South Africa - Township Jazz From The Golden Age LP
SKU: HONEY042
Description:
South Africa is in fact the only country in the whole African
continent that has developed a strong Jazz tradition. Initially
influenced by the great American stylists, (Ellington,
Gillespie...) South Africa gradually developed its own soulful
style based on a distinctive taste for melody and a deep sense of
groove. Masterfully selected from the so-called Golden Age of the
genre, (late Fifties / early Sixties), this compilation represents
the best introduction to the work of a large and varied body of
musicians and composers who inevitably developed their music as
part of the historical Anti-Apartheid struggle, and as means of
self expression in the dark times of exile. Kippie Moeketsi, Hugh
Masekela, Dollar Brand, Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Mongesi Feza,
Barney Rabachan, Nick Moyake and of course the queen Miriam Makeba
are just some of the main voices represented here. A bunch of true
warriors. in one word: A must!
