I think Andy Sheppard is one of the most soulful Jazz sax players.
And every issue with Carla Bley is a treat.

For the time that's in it.
This is a lovely CD of performances by Abdullah Ibrahim/Dollar Brand and his small group of South African musicians. The producer was Rashid Vally and the recording was made in June 1974 in a studio in Cape Town, "against a backdrop of forced removals as the apartheid government finalised its destruction of District Six and evicted coloured families from homes throughout the city" Abdullah Ibrahim later fled South Africa and lived for several years in the US where he met and worked with Duke Ellington.
Mannenberg - Is Where It's Happening became the anthem of the uprisings in the Soweto township during the anti-apartheid movement in the 1970s.
