Uncle Roddus has been shopping on Amazon again, and has, over the last couple of weeks, received a plethora of excellent CDs from my wishlist. This excellent compilation from the awesome Strut Records, is one that I had come across on my internet travels and had downloaded a copy for investigation and knew I would have to get my hands on the real thing, along with the rest of the series. The clued up dudes from Strut have struck gold again with their in depth knowledge and awesome good musical tastes to bring us an outstanding collection of melodic, African tinged jazz from an assortment of mostly Black Musos from the deep, dark days of Apartheid. Heaps of great sax melodies here that worm their way very quickly into your subconscious and not a dud track to be heard. All pretty straight ahead stuff, from big band swing to be-bop quartets, with great rhythm tracks to support the excellent brass solos. Too many highlights to mention in a quick review like this but very highly recommended for lovers of Afro Jazz and getting a Roddus Rating of 5/5
