Nduduzo Makhathini – Myth We Choose (CD)
Product Details
Nduduzo Makhathini has built one of the most spiritually rigorous bodies of work in contemporary jazz, rooting his compositions in Zulu cosmology and the healing traditions of Southern Africa while finding a natural home on Blue Note, the label that has always understood jazz as a music of deeper meaning. His presence in the lineage of South African piano, alongside figures like Abdullah Ibrahim, carries that same sense of purpose across every note.
With his stunning 4th Blue Note album, The Myth We Choose, the brilliant South African pianist, composer, healer, and philosopher Nduduzo Makhathini explores the ways in which various societies choose their own myths through song. The album, which was co-produced by his son Thingo Makhathini, refracts Makhathini's distinctive sound through a broad spectrum of sonic settings with bassist Dalisu Ndlazi and drummer Lukmil Perez, plus collaborators including Black Coffee, Shabaka, Omagugu, Thando Zide & Muneyi.
