Chris McGregor & The Castle Lager Big Band – Jazz / The African Sound
An important reissue of one of the most historic recordings in South African jazz. Originally recorded in 1963, Jazz – The African Sound captured pianist and bandleader Chris McGregor leading the Castle Lager Big Band, a remarkable multi-racial ensemble assembled during the apartheid era. The group featured future legends such as Dudu Pukwana, Kippie Moeketsi, Mongezi Feza and Nick Moyake, blending African melodic structures with modern jazz big-band arrangements. The album is widely regarded as a cornerstone of South African jazz history.
