We spent months practicing our rythm guitars to these tracks. I also saw the west end show too. Over the years I have regularly returned to this album to freshen my ears.

The voice of Miriam Makeba is absolute delight. I wrote earlier that I had a few SA Jazz albums (including vinyls but I can't rip them right now)purchased in SA in the 90s and early 00s.<br />Here is a rip of an album by the Jazz Ministers. Zandile is the better known track, it appeared on many compilations but the rest is pretty good too.
