Oh, I'm looking forward to this. When I worked as a waiter 26 years ago, Sammy Hartman and his wife led the houseband. I became quite friendly with them.
ReplyDeleteMonty Weber was a regular in Concert Boulevard, the houseband of the Galaxy, whose jazz night were legendary. He's lost his legs now, but, hell, Concert Boulevard were t-i-g-h-t.
By the way, Manenberg takes only one 'n'. Dollar Brand got it terribly wrong...
Is really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteFor me "Man(n)enberg" (or "Cape Town Fringe") is one of the most beautiful songs of South African jazz, and merit is not only for Dollar Brand but also the incredible sax of Basil Coeztee, simply sublime.
Thanks for sharing such beauty.
