I think this album came out about fifteen years ahead of its time. It's magical, and it would have been a serious cult classic had it come out circa 2006.

On Friday I brought my Abdullah Ibrahim CDs to work and we got a nerdy and enthusiastic in advance of his concerts.

On Wednesday, Aaron Rimbui and I will kick off a six-week course on Abdullah's and Bheki Mseleku's music for Swing University. Hope to see you there!

Learned about MTM through Seton Hawkins' South African Jazz show on SXM a few years back and picked it up. It's still within arm's reach of my stereo. The title track sounds like the soundtrack to the coolest video game set in a warm climate. Every time I hear it, my soul smiles.

It's channel 67 on the Sirius XM dial, and they also have an app that one can download. But it's satellite radio, so it does require a subscription

Emotional hearing #SouthAfricanJazz show this evening: our 200th. We started in Jan 2020 at SiriusXM studios before doing it at home (on a Blue Yeti) when COVID hit. Since then my microphone got better, my speaking didn't, but the music stayed magnificent. Playlist: www.cityofgoldarts.org/siriusxm

Pianist and composer Bokani Dyer grew up among South African exiles in Botswana, and has become a leading jazz artist from the region. I caught his trio the other night in Philly; I reckon this is the only proper review from his North American tour.

Can't wait for Sisonke Xonti to make his United States debut next week! Come to Dizzy's if you get a chance. #SouthAfricanJazz

This month marks the centennial of Kippie Moeketsi. To the extent that ANYONE can claim the mantle as the godfather of South Africa's Jazz scene, that honor would go to Kippie. So much beautiful music, but this 1971 duet with Abdullah Ibrahim will always hold my heart www.youtube.com/watch?v=xku-...
