Description
Blue Note Records has joined forces with Universal Music Group Africa for a series of special albums, and this is Makhathini's second. In the Spirit of Ntu is his tenth album in all and a real landmark from the visionary pianist, healer, composer and improviser. All of his many themes and conceptual notions get distilled into a comprehensive yet accessible 10-track record with nods to John Coltrane and Abdullah Ibrahim amongst others, but also cultural references to the sounds of the South African landscape. Many of the country's most talented young musicians play on the record including saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane, trumpeter Robin Fassie Kock and vibraphonist Dylan Tabisher.
