The African Jazz Pioneers

(Afrique du Sud)

The background of the African Jazz Pioneers stretches back to the fifties, when jazz was the fashion and big bands were the "name of the game". The reunited Pioneers, led by veteran saxophonist and arranger Ntemi piliso, still capture that typical South African township jazz style - that electric mixture of mainstream swing and indigenous African influences - at its most vital and powerful best.
