The arrival in London in the 1960s of the South African Blue Notes brought new sounds and a new attitude that had an incalculable influence. This historic five-CD set starts with the band live in South Africa in 1964, shortly before apartheid drove it out of the country. None of the members has survived except drummer Louis Moholo, and two of the sessions (from 1975 and 1986) commemorated the departures of trumpeter Mongezi Feza and bassist Johnny Dyani. The 1964 gig, a long way from hi-fi but as raucously atmospheric as sitting in a club, finds them in their early, rough-edged hard-bop and Monkish mode ~ Guardian
