Another archival (1971) recording from this joyous "mixed" band out of South Africa's apartheid days. A bouncing and joyous sound, with plenty of space for free and loose soloing, all cased in traditional big-band motifs. Great for all varieties of jazz/world shows. Harry Beckett - trumpet Marc Charig - trumpet Nick Evans - trombone Malcolm Griffiths - trombone Chris McGregor - piano Harry Miller - bass Louis Moholo - drums Dudu Pukwana - alto sax Mike Osborne - alto sax Alan Skidmore - tenor sax Gary Windo - tenor sax 1- Spoken band intro 2- Sunny carnival sound, infectiously happy. Free soloing space, but not too wild. 3- Crazy free improv by the group. A more spare and free piece but still fast-paced. Nice trumpet solo. Busy full-band chaos later on. 4- Big swaying riff w/horn wildness 5- Quiet improv interlude, still keeps up a good pace 6- Fast rolling big-band themes. Big brash horns. Choppy, squirrelly sax solo. Yeah! (but 15 mins. long) 7- Fun Charlie Chaplain bounce. Swingy. 8- Rollicking '50s-TV-sounding theme to end it. (2 mins. long) 9- Applause! and band intros. | ||
