RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1969. Ultra-rare South African jazz from District Six with legendary musicians
Clifford Moses
,
Richard Schilder
,
Basil Moses
, and
Basil Coetzee
. True jazz today is becoming a rare art whose existence depends not only on the jazz-musician but also on the medium by means of which it is propagated. This album is the combined effort of musician and Trutone Record Company to add their contribution to the interest of the arts. The theme for this album is set in "District Six", the community which brought forth
The Four Sounds
. Basil Moses is perhaps most widely known, in the context of South African jazz history, as having recorded prolifically -- including performing on seven or eight of
Abdullah Ibrahim
's 1970s recordings. He also features on
Sathima Bea Benjamin
's
African Songbird
(1976). Guitarist Cliffie Moses, three years older than brother Basil, was also a professional musician and the two, along with Richard Schilder and
Billy Bowers
(aka
Billie Dollie
), formed the Four Sounds in the early 1960s. The group with
Basil "Manenburg" Coetzee
and
Roy Nolly
recorded their debut album,
Jazz From District Six
, in 1969 for Trutone. In 1970, Basil, Cliffie,
Roy Petersen
, and
Monty Weber
were all hired to tour the country as the core of
Percy Sledge
's backing band for a seventeen-week sell-out tour of South and southern Africa. Percy Sledge described it as the "greatest tour of [his] career." Notes by
Siemon Allen
at Flatinternational; obi; 180 gram vinyl.
