When talking of Cape Jazz pioneers Morris Goldberg’s name is usually mentioned in the same sentence along with Dollar Brand and Chris McGregor. This gem was recorded in 1975 when Goldberg was visiting South Africa from his New York base. Both Goldberg and percussionist Monty Weber were part of the “Manenburg” legend. Goldberg was the third saxophone player whose name does not appear on the cover credits. Read some of the back-story here.
Strangely, this record does not feature on Goldberg’s own discography. You can read more about Morris Goldberg and his band Ojoyo here.

ReplyDeleteA huge thank you! to you.
ReplyDeleteStill cathing up... wonderful album, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the rich sound, ripe with emotion, full of vibrato, the slurrs and all that... going back to Johnny Hodges, yet doing that in a modern way, and of course to those infectuous ZA-rhythms we all love so much!
Great.Thanks very much.
