Witchdoctor's Son [LP] Vinyl Record

"... Witchdoctor's Son contains the most infectious, buoyant, gleeful music... The interaction between Pukwana and Tchicai's vastly differing phrase sensibilities is one of the joys of this recording... " (Lange, Down Beat)"... from Dyani's most consistently inventive period... " (The Penguin Guide To JAZZ)The timeless brilliance of jazz with the remastered edition of Johnny Dyani's Witchdoctor's Son, originally recorded in 1978 brings together musicians from South Africa, Denmark, and Brazil, blending their unique styles with the rich heritage of American jazz. The presence of John Tchicai, a stalwart of the New York jazz scene, adds depth to this remarkable record. The music is deeply rooted in South African traditions, with themes composed by Johnny Dyani and Dudu Pukwana, and traditional tunes arranged by them. The spirit of Africa, especially the Xhosa world, is a constant presence throughout the album.
