Gideon Nxumalo

"Recorderd in 1968, here we have a very rare South African jazz album, only two copies known in the whole wide world: one in the hand of a SA prime minister and the other one in the hand of an art gallery owner (= original it's practically impossible to find ?!). this new edition had been re-mastered and cleaned, with different art on cover but by the same fine artist. a very unique record with such an unusual instrument combination, all songs written by Mr. Nxumalo who is surely an original. there's another album by Gideon rec. in 1962 which is totally amazing, called Jazz Fantasia (a very young Dudu Pukwana plays sax in similar Albert Ayler's vein !)." punzmann
