Nov. 24th, 2014 01:08 amFinally some British jazz from a South African-born, often UK-based percussionist, band leader, record label owner and concert promoter.The track i have chosen is -
Julian Bahula's Jazz Afrika - Woza Cindi
He has has produced some lovely music over the years.
Julian Bahula, famous throughout the 60's and early 70's in South Africa because of Malombo music, came to Britain, to exile from his home, in 1973, to begin all over again. He came to Europe with the band Jo'burg Hawk at a time when the politics of Apartheid were impacting both life and music making.
The early 80's brought about the birth of "Julian Bahula's Jazz Afrika", with Denmark's Michael Nielson and Britain's Dave Chambers on saxophones, South Africans Pianist Mervyn Africa on keyboards and Lucky Ranku on guitar, Italian bassist Roberto Bellatalla, bassists Dill Katz and Chucho Merchan, trumpeter Peter Segona and drummer Alan Jackson. The album made was called "Son of the Soil". Jazz Afrika, the name described the accent of the music rather than the ethnic composition or nationalities of the musicians; it brought together musicians from many backgrounds and countries; an exhilarating ensemble of excellence.
Enjoy

I knew it was going to be a bad day as soon as as the bus this morning arrived fifteen minutes late and that the bus broke down mid way during its journey.So was there anything positive about the day? Well,the only rejoinder of the day was the fact it was a dry cold sunny day.
Despite this i did find a few gems in charity shops book-wise.
A couple of poetry books plus a CF by Leonard Cohen, "Old Ideas".
Tomorow off to Sussex for a few days including my DJ night on Wednesday.
