5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Magic, August 16, 2006
This review is from: Vadzimu (Audio CD)
I love South African jazz.

Whether it be the Khwela gloriously purveyed by, e.g., Lebombo, the Township jazz of Hugh Masekela, the Chris McGregor-led Blue Notes, the Dedication Orchestra's expansion and extension of that legacy, Louis Moholo's Viva La Black, or the vast canon of Abdullah Ibraham, there's a deep-delved melancholy in South African jazz that seldom fails to light my fire.

Add to that list Zim Ngquawana.

The only possible reason this disc (I haven't heard his others, also available on Amazon) isn't riding near the top of the jazz charts is that few people have heard it. What we've got here is primordial South African jazz, brilliantly conceived and executed.

Practically unknown in the West, Ngquawana deserves to be placed at the very top of South African jazz.

More world jazz of great accomplishment. Highest recommendation.
