The record
A tight seven-piece frontline of horns and trombone-led ensemble writing, cut in the thick of South African jazz's township-to-exile ferment -- Radise's charts lean on baritone and tenor weight against Tshabalala's piano to keep the groove grounded. A rare Outernational Sounds reissue that pulls this early-70s date out of obscurity for crate-diggers tracing the continent's post-bop lineage.
