TETE MBAMBISA  "AFRICAN DAY"

Barney Rachabane, tenor saxophone
Basil Coetzee, tenor saxophone
Duku Makasi, tenor saxophone
Tete Mbambisa, piano
Sipho Gumede, electric bass
Gilbert Mathews, drums

5. African Day  17:44


From the same CD as above.

The CD says it's a traditional theme, but the music/theme sounds very closely to Mbambisa's 'Stay Cool' from the LP "Tete's Big Sound", released 1988. So I'm inclined to credit this song to him.
This version seems to be previously unreleased.
But I'm in no way an expert on Jazz from SA - so I could be wrong....
