| The Blue Notes were the original group, led by Chris McGregor, who fled their homeland when the pressure of being a racially mixed group in 1964 apartheid South Africa became too much to bear. They eventually landed in London in 1966. Consisting of Chris McGregor-piano, Louis Moholo-drums, Dudu Pukwana-sax, Nick Moyake-sax, Mongezi Feza-trumpet, and Johnny Dyani-bass, the collectively and individually invigorated and hugely shook up the jazz scene in the UK and it is not an exageration to say that without their influence, what we think of as 'Brit-jazz' would probably be a very different thing. The eventually basically morphed into the Brotherhood of Breath, where they finally were reasonably well documented, but the work of the Blue Notes has been hard to come by until now. This is everything recorded by or released by Ogun, the home of many of these musicians and related artists. This includes the following albums "Blue Notes Live in South Afrika 1964" (previously on CD, but out of print for many years) and "Blue Notes for Mongezi", Blue Notes for Johnny" and "Blue Notes in Concert"(all of these never before out on CD before + all with never released material added!) |
