Tete Mbambisa – Did You Tell Your Mother
A deep and highly regarded South African spiritual/modal jazz LP from pianist Tete Mbambisa, originally issued in 1979 on The Sun (Gallo). The album features long-form compositions with a strong modal foundation and expansive improvisation, alongside standout contributions from Basil Coetzee (tenor/flute), Zulu Bidi (bass) and Monty Weber (drums). Often cited among the strongest late-’70s SA jazz sessions, it blends township phrasing with American spiritual jazz influence in a hypnotic, groove-based setting.
